555_BEEP_TRANSFORMER

Published:2009/7/10 1:53:00 Author:May

The simple circuit transforms the steady beep of an audible-signal device, such as a Mallory sonalert, into a distinctive warble or chirp. The value of C2 determines just what tone color you'll get. With the 1-μF value shown, the circuit produces a warble similar to the ring tone of an inexpensive phone. A 10-μF value produces a chirp similar to a truck's back-up alarm. One elaboration of this circuit would be to use the second section of a 555 timer to drive a piezoelectric transducer instead of a sonalert; that modification would vary the tone's pitch, as well as the chirp rate.   (View)

RADIO_CONTROL_FOR_MOTOR

Published:2009/7/20 1:42:00 Author:Jessie

Proportional control system produces control pulses every 20 ms, with length of each adjustable between 1 and 2 ms. Circuit removes first 1 ms of pulse and expands remainder to produce 0-20 ms pulses for driving motor. Pulsing of motor gives smoother control than resistors, particularly at very low speeds. Transistor types are not critical. Tr5 can be OC28. Optional dashed connection of 8.2K resistor provides foldback current/voltage protection.-M. Weston, Variable-Speed Radio Control Motor, Wireless World, Feb. 1978, p 59.   (View)

ELECTRONIC_SIREN

Published:2009/7/10 1:52:00 Author:May

The wailing sound of a siren is generated by a VFO consisting of Q1 and Q2. Capacitor C2 provides the feedback for the oscillator. The frequency of the oscillator is varied by the voltage applied to the base of Q1 hrough R3 .When switch S1 is closed, capacitor C1 charges, thus increasing the oscillator frequency.When S1 is released, capacitor C1 discharges, and the oscillator frequency decreases. Capacitor C3 limits the maximum oscillator frequency. The average battery current drain is about 15 mA.   (View)

REMOTE_SWITCHING

Published:2009/7/20 1:41:00 Author:Jessie

Uses four flip-flops, each having one 4-input and one 2-input CMOS NAND gate. Momentarily grounding any input drives corresponding output high and all other outputs low, Unless power is interrupted, additional pulses on same input have no effect; circuit remains stable until some other input is momentarily grounded. Outputs can be used to drive other logic devices directly or through buffer if current required exceeds 10 mA. Can be used for remote frequency control of VHF transceiver and for other applications requiring remote selection of mutually exclusive functions.-P. Shreve, Remote-Switching Circuit, Ham Radio, March 1978, p114.   (View)

Developed for use with mobile transceiver mounted in trunk of car, to give full independent selection of eight transmit and eight receive frequencies with only three wires running to control head on dash. System involves converting 8-position switch selection in control head to 3-bit binary form for control wires, then decoding with relays. Miniature SPST relay in control head is operated by normal push-to-talk circuit to change channel selector switch when transmitting.-G. D.

HEE_HAW_SIREN

Published:2009/7/10 1:48:00 Author:May

A pair of timer IC's are the heart of a circuit that simulates the warbling hee-haw of a British police siren. One of the 555 timers, U2, is wired as an astable multivibrator operating at about 900 Hz. The other, U1, operates at approximately 1 Hz. Its output at pin 3 is a square wave with a 50% duty cycle-on and off cycles of about 0.5 second each. The output of U1 is applied to pin 5, the control-voltage terminal of U2. The frequency of the 555 timer IC is relatively independent of supply voltage, but can be varied ever a fairly wide range by applying a variable voltage between pin 5 and ground. When U1's output becomes high, U2 operates at about 800 kHz. That switching between two frequencies produces the warbling hee-haw signal.   (View)
