The core of this construction is 16-Bit Stereo Digital-To-Analog Convertor with USB interface PCM2702.

PCM2702 needs only few additional parts to work. The schematic is not complex. Sound card can be powered directly from USB port (jumper W1) or from external power supply (jumper W3). PCM2702 needs two power supply 3.3V (3V-3.6V) and 5V (4.5V-5.5V). I used fixed output voltage LDO TPS76733Q for 3.3V (IO2) and adjustable output voltage LDO TPS76701Q for 5V (IO3). Both LDO are produced by TI, I used this because I had it in my drawer. Any similar LDO can be used. Output voltage of IO3 should be set to little bit lower than input voltage to allow LDO good stabilization, in my case output voltage is set to 4.8V. Output voltage can be set by adjustable resistor R33. In case of low power supply, IO3 can be shorted by jumper W3. LED D3 signalizes power on.

Small ferrite beads are placed before all power pins of PCM2702 and in Vbus and GND of USB. These small beads reduce high frequency hum. I had a problem find this small SMD ferrite beads in local stores but finally I acquire few of them from old hard drive. They are not absolutely necessary, you can use zero ohm resistors instead of them.

Low-pass filter is placed in output signal path to reduce sampling frequency. An OPA2353UA dual op amp is configured as a stereo 2nd-order low-pass filter. Led diode D1 is illuminated when PCM2702 plays audio data received from the USB bus. Led diode D2 is illuminated when USB bus suspends audio data transmission to the PCM2702.

Using this low cost Project one can reproduce AUDIO from TV without disturbing anyone. It does not use any wire between TV and HEADPHONE. In place of pair of wires it uses invisible Infrared light to transmit audio signals from TV to Headphone. Without using any lens a range of up to 6 meters is possible. Range can be extended by using Lenses and Reflectors with IR sensors comprising transmitters and receivers. IR transmitter uses two-stage transistor amplifier to drive two IR leds connected in series. An audio output transformer is used (in reverse) to couple Audio output from TV to the IR transmitter.

This is a headphone amplifier similiar to the one designed by Chu Moy. For reference, the original Chu Moy article is here while a great tutorial on building it is here. I have used a different dual operational amplifier, the RC4560, manufactured by Texas Instruments, in the TSSOP package, and chip resistors in order to make an extremely small printed circuit board assembly.

Tube Preamplifier Schematic 6DJ8 / ECC88 SRPP

This is one of many possible variations for a Symmetrical SRPP Preamplifier based around the 6DJ8 / ECC88 family of tubes. The SRPP circuit has also been referred to as a SEPP, Totem Pole, Mu Follower, Mu amplifier and Cascoded Cathode Follower. The original name for this circuit is a Balanced Direct and Alternating Current Amplifier (Maurice Artzt, Radio Corporation of America, February 9, 1943, Patent 2310342).

Tube Preamplifier 5687 Led Biased Circuit

Power Supply Tube Preamplifier 5687 Led Biased Circuit
The power supply uses one RCA-83 mercury rectifier. An Omron timer is used to delay the B+ in order to allow the rectifier to warm up. The last 2 RC sections (3k6, 220uF, 3k9, 10uF) are separate for each channel, but in future I plan to remove that and use a CCS for each channel instead. The 10uF capacitor is polystyrene. Yes, those are 50H chokes!

The RCA-83 rectifier uses 5VAC for the filaments. The heaters for the 5687 tubes are provided from a full bridge of MUR860 diodes, followed by 5 x 10,000uF Elna caps. 830mA of current regulation is supplied using a LM317 regulator and a 1R5 resistor between ADJ and VOUT pins. Votlage to the tubes is about 11.5V, so I am actually running starved filaments.

Tube Preamplifier 5687 Led Biased Circuit

The preamplifier uses the double section of a 5687 tube for each channel, with each section using it's own grid stopper (220R) and it's own pair of green LED for a 4V bias. The double section is used so as to lower the effective tube impedance, resulting in better compatibility with the Tamura A4717 5k output transformers. The 5687 tubes are operated at 115V, -4V and 25mA, which is one of the more linear regions for a 5687. Initially, I tried AC for the filaments and the result was far too much hum, so DC is used for the heaters. The schematic of the preamplifier section is shown in Figure 01.

Rangkaian SMS Remote Controller V3.0

Picture 1: The SMS remote controller V3.0.

Introduction.

It's been passed a lot of years since my first SMS remote control. The reason I stoped developing the source code of my previous circuit was that the T10s was not available in the market sinse a lot of years. So, people could not find very easy that cell phone to build the circuit. Two years later I built another one remote control based on GSM module. I choose the GM-47 sony-ericsson module because it was very easy to handle it via AT commands. Moreover, the price was low enough for experiments. Finaly, I decided to release the source code under GNU General Public Licence V3 If you don't agree with the terms please DO NOT download or use any part of this project (schematic diagram, source code, hex code, PCB, etc).

What is this circuit for?

With this circuit you can power-ON or Power-OFF a lot of electric/electronic devices such as aDSL modem, personal computers, water boilers, water pumps, garage doors, lights and many more. Moreover, you can watch the status of 8 switches. These switches can be connected with reed switches to the windows and the doors of your house. Just like a security system.

The circuit I have made has the following specifications:

- 4 relays to Power-ON or OFF any electronic/electric device.

- 8 digital inputs for reading normal swiches or reed switches.

- Very few and cheap components.

- SMS command execution is protected under a programmable password (for avoiding false SMS commands from other persons).

Picture 2: The schematic diagram of SMS remote control v3.0 (click to enlarge).

The schematic diagram.

This circuit is constituted by an AVR micro-controller (ATtiny2313) at 4MHz, the GM-47 GSM module, a SIM card and 4 relays. The GM-47 module works at 3.3V and is powered by the voltage stabilizer IC1. The micro-controller IC2 can work with power from 2.7V-5.5V when the speed is under 10MHz. So we power it at 3.3V because this is the voltage level that works GM-47 module. The data connection between GM-47 and ATtiny2313 is done at 9600 bps. The voltage level for this comunication is 3.3V from AVR's side and 2.7V from GM-47 side. Because of this voltage difference I used the T5 transistor to do the voltage level adaptation.

The connection of the SIM card with the GM-47 is been made by the SIM-holder K15 and the presence of the SIM card into the SIM-holder is been made by the swich SW on SIM-holder. The LED D6 when it flases, indicates that the connection to the cell phone network has been done properly. When the module cannot been connected to any cell phone network, the LED stays always ON (it's not blinking).

The GM-47 has digital and analog inputs-outputs it self but I didn't use them to avoid a malfunction with the danger of destroying the GSM module.

What the AVR micro-controller does.

After you power-on the circuit the IC2 (ATtiny2313) waits until GM-47 is initiallized, by reading the SIM card and connects to the GSM network that SIM card supports. After the connection to the network, the AVR sends the command to select the GM-47 memory as SMS storage memory. If the answer of the module is not the AVR sends again the same command. If the answer is the AVR sends the next command . This command says to the module to read the SMS as text and not as PDU format that we used in the past with T10s cell phone. The next command is that removes some information from the SMS, like SMS server's phone number and the date and time. This is done to make the SMS smaller to be handled easiest by the AVR. The next command is to read the SMS that is stored in the first memory address of the GM-47.

If there is an SMS, the AVR reads it and checks if there is the correct password. Initially the password is 1234 and can be changed by the user. Then, checks if the next character is the "*" (star). This symbol means: "Change the password with the following 4 numbers or letters". Then is searching to find the words . When "X" means the relay number (1-4) and "Y" means 0 or 1 (On or OFF). For example command means "Arm the 2nd relay" and means "Disarm the 3rd relay". After that the AVR checks again the SMS to see if there is the word with small , capital or mixed letters written in SMS. If there is, the AVR reads the status of the switches (Open or Closed) and the status of the relays (ON or OFF) and sends back an SMS to the person who sent the initial SMS. Obviously, your SIM card must have credits to send SMS!

At the end the AVR deletes the SMS from the GM-47 first storage address and starts over sending again the AT commands .

Sending an SMS to the remote control

You can send an SMS from any cell phone to the remote control by following one of the above command syntax:

A) 1234*5678 Relay1=1 Relay2=0 Relay3=1 Relay4=1 Status

B) 1234 Relay1=1 Relay2=0 Relay3=1 Relay4=1 Status

C) 1234 1=1 2=0 3=1 4=1 Status

D) 1234 Status

E) 1234 Relay2=0

In case A we have the maximum of selections. We send the initial password 1234 and we change it to 5678. We arm the relay-1, relay-3, relay-4 and disarm the relay-2. Moreover, by writing the word we ask for the status of the 8 swiches and the status of the 4 relays.

In case B we arm the relay-1, relay-3, relay-4, disarm the relay 2 and ask for the status of the relays and the switches.

In case C we do the same bypassing the words . We write the number of the relay we want to change and the status we want to have for this relay. for example case C says: armed the relays 1,3,4 and disarmed the relay 2. Moreover, we ask for the status.

In case D we ask only for the status of relays and switches.

In case E we change the status of only one relay. In this case relay-2 will be disarmed.

Piucture 5: The placement of the GM-47 module on the PCB. See the yellow thin film I put under the connector. This film is been put to protect the circuit from shortcuts between copper strip and the connector.
