SLIDE_TIMER

Published:2009/7/9 1:51:00 Author:May

This circuit will record commentary and/or music on one track of a tape and put the beeps that change the slides on another track. Gate U2a is used to trigger U1, which is configured as a timer when a pulse is received from either the tape input or via pushbutton switch S1. Timer U2 outputs one pulse for every input pulse received, no matter how long S1 is depressed.The Q output of U2 at pin 1 is fed to U2b, which is set up as an inverter. When pin 1 of U1 becomes low, Q3 is activated, lighting LED1. The Q output of UI at pin 6 is tied to the base of Q2, through R5, so that when pin 6 becomes high, Q2 is turned on. When Q2 is turned on, relay K1 is energized, and a signal is fed to the tape input through J2. The second set of contacts of K1 are used to trigger the projector.Power for the circuit is provided by a 7805 regulator. The unregulated 12 V output of BR1 is used to power the relay. The 12-V relay needs to have two sets of contacts as shown: to advance the projector, and to supply the beeps when recording. The LED indicates projector advance.To record the beeps, connect beeper jack J2 to the input of the tape recorder and connect the controller to the projector-advance plug. The 60-Hz line frequency is used to produce beeps that are recorded on half of the stereo tape. The other track is used for commentary. The beeper output is controlled via 500-KΩ potentiometer R6. Use pushbutton switch S1 to put the beeps on the tape, where required, to advance the projector.The beep length is automatic, and the projector will advance once for every push of S1.When presenting your program, disconnect one speaker from the recorder, and connect the recorder to the jack on the controller and plug into the earphone jack. Connect the controller to the projector. The beeps will not be heard and the projector will advance at precisely the correct time.   (View)

CIRCUIT_TRACER

Published:2009/7/20 20:45:00 Author:Jessie

Continuity tester delivers continuous audio tone when its test terminals are connected by resistance less than about 1 ohm. Circuit under test does not receive more than 3 V or 300 mA, depending on resistance between terminals. Tester ticks softly when switched on but is open-circuited, as reminder that battery drain is then about 0.8 mA. Tester uses sections of Motorola low-power MC3302P quad comparator as measurement comparator, 600-Hz tone oscillator, AF amplifier, and ticker. Pins 3 and 12 of IC are used in power supply.-R. C. Marshall, Continuity Bleeper for Circuit Tracing, Ham Radio, July 1977, p 67-69.   (View)

FLASH_METER

Published:2009/7/9 1:44:00 Author:May

Insulated-gate, field-effect transistor (IGFET), Q2 and silicon photo cell Z1 form the heart of this circuit. Transformer T1 is an audio-output type, but it's reversed in the circuit. A sudden flash from a photoflash unit detected by Z1 sends a voltage pulse through the low-impedance winding of T1 via R1. That voltage pulse is stepped-up in T1's 500-Ω, primary winding before being rectified by Q1. Transistor Q1 is used as a diode; its emitter lead was snipped off close to the case. Q1 then charges C1 to a value proportional to the amplitude of the electrical pulse generated by the light from a flash unit. Capacitor C1 controls the current flowing through Q2, which has a very high-input impedance. The current through Q2 is read by meter Ml, a 0-50 μA dc unit, which has been calibrated in f-stops. The extremely high internal resistances of Q1 and Q2 will allow C1 to retain its charge for several minutes; this is more than enough time for you to take your reading of M1. The charge on C1 is shorted to ground and returned to 0 V by depressing reset button S1. The flashmate is ready to read the next photoflash. Trim potentiometers, R7 through R14, are adjusted to values which will yield correct readings for corresponding film sensitivities, or exposure indexes.   (View)

TIMED_SLOPE_SAMPLING

Published:2009/7/20 21:31:00 Author:Jessie

Circuit measures rate of signal change for slowly varying signals (changing less than 1 V/min) by using sample-and-hold circuit to store instantaneous sample.After compatible time interval, sample is com-pared with new input current value; difference is then the desired slope. One limitation is that offset errors added to stored signal near zero voltage can cause large errors in the derivative. Circuit is highly sensitive to noise spikes during sampling.-R. E. Bober, This Derivative Circuit Handles Slowly Varying Signals, EDN Magazine, Jan. 20, 1976, p 82.   (View)

CABLE_TESTER

Published:2009/7/20 21:04:00 Author:Jessie

Five Signetics NE555V timers check all lines of four-conductor cable for opens and for short-circuit conditions, Differential transistor pall at one end of each cable line remains balanced as long as clock pulses at opposite ends of line are identical. Clock pulse at timer end of one line turns on green LED to indicate open in line. Clock pulse only at transistor end of line turns on red LED to indicate that line is shorted With good cable line, neither LED is on.- Signetics Analog Data Manual, signetics,Sunnyvale,CA,1977,p730.   (View)
