Hi,
On cell phone the audio is processed via a voice codec to optimize the bandwidth. So PWM or tones may not pass correctly, to be experimented.

Hi,
For such a low demanding application you can drop the voltage a bit by connecting 3 or 4 garden variety 1N4007 diodes serially in the positive line.

Hi,
The 155 one short time current max load is better 400 Amps in place of 250 for the 156 model (other spec does't matter). So it's all depend on the original part specifications!

Hi,
Yes it' s possible to send text via a cell phone but not using the handset connection.
As you have Arduino in mind you can use it with a GSM/GPRS shield and send you text via the shield serial port UART the through the air via a SMS or TCPIP.

Hi,
I will do it differently. Looks better to me to hack the rotating motor to allow a back and forth rotation at each power up and use spring cable. By the way why is the display equipped with a rotating system?
Olivier
Hi,
It will be usefull to confirm you feeling by testing the amplifier on an external (not switched mode type) power supply.
Doe's the amplifier work well with an external audio source like an MP3 player?
The idea is to find out if it's power supply problem or an input stage problem...
Hi,
I guess that for such an assignment you have more information's to provide us!
Do you need to simulate it on a regular PC?
Is it a large color display or a basic led gauge?
Do you need to build it from a marketed LCD display?
Do you need to handle both hardware/firmware parts?
Must the...
Hi,
According to your pic it's looks like there is a led on the sensor. Other side should have a photodiode or a phototransistor to made the optical detection. Maybe be a sharp picture of the module inside can help.
Olivier
Hi,
Hard to say if it' s a fuse resistor or not. I guess not according to his appearance and to the lack of warning sign on the PCB. Wattage should be in the 1-2 Watts range.

Hi,
KJ6EAD point out the MC34063 circuit inductance problem, not the inductance of the relays coils and indeed the MC34063 inductance must be sized according to the needed output current!

Sure Dave !
looks that the link was wrongly cutted by the reply window. I try with the Insert Link now.

Hi, the MPS751 is the preferred device. Just a bit improved spec and available at digikey:

Hi,
Accoring to Sky web site the batteries must be indeed replaced within in 10 minutes or a reset must be done:

no damage so.

Hi secant,
A simple DAC is maybe be possible but certainly will not be the best for the job.
DSP are more intended for signal processing. A dedicated IC, like the STA013, would be better. Here under an example with the VS1001...
Hi Tony,
You can maybe try the farnell community:

Also farnell don't build any measurement equipment, they just "rebrand" them. So maybe you can try to find the original manufacturer (by looking inside or on the net) to get a manual.

Hi Vead,
Here under few considerations about.
The main decision elements are:
software side
Atmel offer a free programming environment, AVRSTUDIO and a free C compiler.This set is compatible with all they 8 bits uC familly.

Hi, I use tera term, it' s work nice can be echoed and can log the data.
This links looks clean:
