This is a small general purpose audio test set. It comprises a low 0. 3% distortion phase shift oscillator and a level meter. The level meteris set at 100mV FSD and can be used for gain measurements and general testing. Current consumption is just under 4mA. The oscillator is a phase shift based around Q1 and associated components. Frequency is set

at 700Hz by C1, C2, C3, R1, R2 and R3. The sinewave appears at the collector of Q1 and the amplitude is stabilized by D1 and the voltage tap R8 and R9. The sine wave is buffered by Q2 which will also reduce output impedance of the oscillator. R7 and C4 form a low pass single pole harmonicfilter the oscillator signal is adjustable by preset VR1 and appears at the 3. 5mm jack socket, J1. The following comments and caveats that come to mind, help the user of the finished itemparticularly when used with pcs and laptops for which this test set was intended. Items 3 and 4 are not aimed at being alarmist, but should be treated with serious caution. 1) The applied/terminated oscillator level is always available to be seen on the meter. That remains so until a 3. 5mm mono plug is inserted into the audio IN socket. This breaks the monitoring and lets the user apply their own audio signal. 2) Two multiturn trimpots control both the required oscillator output level up to a few hundred millivolts rms and the meter driver sensitivity. Both circuit parts are obviously open to modification. Meter FSD is deliberately restricted to 100mV rms for the reasons stated in item 3. The 3k9 and 22k in parallel to the meter are also useful. If one end of the 3k9 is unsoldered, the meter will cope with external audio line level input, up to the order of a couple of volts rms. Also the meter driver audio bandwidth which currently is only for speech,...
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.....
