Every time I sit down to document one of my projects, I try to remember the occasions in the past when looking at the finished web page, I might say ‘Well, I won’t do that again!’, because despite how many drafts I’ve gone through, there is always some aspect of the presentation that fails to measure up …

How chords are formed Before discussing the processor board and software, it is worth mentioning how the chords are composed. I have provided the table below which shows the installed chords together with the intervals/notes they are constructed from, and examples of each in the key of C major. Since the source-code is provided, and …

Due to its simplicity (requires minimum external components) and high availability, LM386 is very popular among hobbyists for use in low-voltage audio amplification applications. Most of the time a potentiometer is used at the input side of LM386 to provide a volume control in the output speaker. The potentiometer does not control the gain of the …

BTc “Binary Time constant” algorithm. A system to record and/or play sound in a bitstream format using just one digital output pin. This is a sound playback system for a PIC or any other microcontroller. It uses a clever encoding system to mathematically model the actual performance of the RC filter when the signal is …
This project uses a microcontroller to drive a speaker and play one of two songs: Yakety Sax (the chase song from the Benny Hill Show) and Entrance of the Gladiators (the clown juggling unicycle song). The tunes are stored as a series of distinct notes. The frequency and duration of each a note is sent …

This post describes the design and construction of a 3-phase loudspeaker intended for Leslie Speaker emulation. The unit is intended to be driven by a 3-channel audio amplifier The Brute, which in turn is controlled by LEMS, a micro-controller based control system, the construction of which both are described in companion posts. Companion posts are as follows: …
