A vco using the LM324. I have the schematic to the korg monotron, which uses the lm324 as the IC for the vco, but I am struggling to create a simple circuit in which the lm324 will produce an audible wave form when connected to a speaker. can anyone help from what i have gathered this should produce a square wave correct An LM324, by itself, is not a VCO; you have to add the JFet to

make a VCO. An LM324, by itself, cannot drive a speaker; you will need an audio power amplifier, like an LM386 to do that. I`m not sure if this is what you want, but it will produce a square wave and triangle wave. Change the frequency by changing C1 or R4. AC couple it with a large capacitor to your audio amplifier. An LM324, by itself, is not a VCO; you have to add the JFet to make a VCO. An LM324, by itself, cannot drive a speaker; you will need an audio power amplifier, like an LM386 to do that. Its what is used in that little Korg Monotron synthesizer, which is why i purchased the chips. I am trying to figure out how to create an oscillator with it without using a 386 audio amp if thats possible I know it can be done with a 40106 but can it be done with the LM324 audioguru thanks for that link. A CD40106 IC can make six square-wave oscillators with just one resistor and one capacitor for each oscillator. An opamp can make the same oscillator but with an added resistor. If you want to drive a speaker then you need a power amplifier. An LM386 has a low output power of only 0. 45W at clipping into 8 ohms when it has a 9V supply. im breadboarding this right now, thank you everyone for your help, im teaching myself about circuit building and am a noob, thanks for answering my stupid questions. Although I can generate a square wave with the lm324 and with a bit of luck a triangle wave as well, and adjust the rate in which...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
