SOUND CONTROLLED MODELS

SOUND CONTROLS THE MODELYou obviously had to read about the models driven by sound signals. Receptor, which we offer to the reader reacts to an audio signal of a certain strength. The source may be, for example, a whistle, a whistle or sound a special transmitter commands. Equipped with this instrument model is performing in any sequence the commands: “forward”, “back”, “left”, “right”. The cessation of the audio signal or decrease it to a certain level is causing the stop model (stop). Here’s how the device works.

ACOUSTIC PROBE

ACOUSTIC PROBEThe magazine “Amaterske Radio” (Czechoslovakia) proposed scheme is a simple audio probe to detect logic levels; low (logic 0) and high (logical 1). The device consists of a bitonal multivibrator, is made of two elements of D1.1, D1.2 chip D1, and two keys, collected three transistors V2—V4 (see circuit diagram).

FROM “USELESS” – IN THE RIGHT

FROM Want to lead a conversation about “retraining” relatively useless or obsolete electronic devices in the useful and necessary. A lot of stuff gathering dust “in the bins” radio Amateur may get a second life. This is especially true in economically crisis periods, and not only the world but also a family. For example, a portable radio (transceiver) citizen’s band (CB), shown in the photo, are unlikely to even be interested in Amateur radio.

GENERATOR TREMOLO

Device, a scheme which offers the journal “Funk-shau” (Germany), is used to create different sound effects together with musical instruments. It is made in the form of a set-top box or a separate box to AMY. Is indicated in the diagram of transistors can be applied to domestic couples: KT315 KT361 or КТ3107/КТ3102 with any Read more…

DISTURBER

DISTURBERThe electric signal amplitude decreases rapidly — within 2-4 s after pinch the strings, it accounts for only 20-30% of the maximum level. At the same time changing the tone color of the sound. This circumstance restricts the possibility of using the electric guitar as a solo instrument. That’s why natural “voice” strings replaced its electronic similarity with a constant volume level. For the first time such a device has used the group “the Beatles”. Now the same email attachment to AMY is known as disturber (deformer), or “FUZZ”.

THE MODEL IS CONTROLLED BY LIGHT

THE MODEL MANAGES THE LIGHTThe electronic device described in mi readers, you can install on the toy, equipped with a separate drive for each caterpillar: tank, lunar Rover, Lunokhod. The model moves with headlights on in a darkened room, and set PA her the photodiodes capture the reflection of the headlights from obstacles. The appropriate commands to the drive engines on the basis of the received data takes the logical unit. Here’s how it works.

HOT PENCIL

Small red-hot spiral, fed by electric current, in skilled hands becomes a kind of pencil, which is burned on the tree. This elektrovyzhigatel. For its production you will need a transformer, step-down the voltage to 220 V to 2-4, 1.5—2 m stranded wire (cord), electrical tape, nichrome wire Ø 0,5—0,8 mm with a length of 60-80 mm, wood 30 mm 0 blank or cut of the PCB [plywood] with a thickness of 7-9 mm, screws and M3 nuts, small screws, strips of brass of 1 mm thickness, twine. We offer our readers two versions of elektrovyzhigatel, and each is characterized by simplicity, reliability and safety in operation.
