The proposed device was conceived as a control system for any processes or devices through a radio transmitter. DTMF signals are used as the encoding-decoding system.

The scheme of the device is shown in Fig.1.

Fig.2 (click to enlarge)

The device itself consists of a DTMF decoder based on the MT8870 chip and a decoder based on the 155ID3 chip. For visual indication of the received code, there is a decoder on the K514ID1 chip and a seven-segment ALS321A indicator. This part of the circuit may not be used to simplify the design. The device is powered from a +5 V source. In this design, an integral stabilizer 7805 or a domestic analogue (EN5A) is used.

The decoder allows you to connect up to 16 actuators. You just need to remember that the actuator must be controlled by TTL levels (0 and +5 V).

executive device. Here, as an example, is a diagram that I used to determine the coverage of a portable radio transmitter and test various types of antennas. The circuit is made on a 556 chip (dual timer). You can use two timers of type 555 or their domestic counterpart - KR1000VI1. A tone generator is made on one of the halves of the timer, and a waiting multivibrator is made on the second half. The input of the device is connected to the loudspeaker of the radio station. The output of the tone generator is connected to the transmitter's microphone jack. When a command is received from the decoder to the waiting multivibrator, relay K1 (RES-94) is activated and its contacts K1.1 generates a PTT signal for two to three seconds to turn on the transmitter. Thus, when I send a command from a portable transmitter (in this case, the number "4"), I receive in response a tonal message from a stationary transmitter. This device is very convenient when determining the coverage area of a CB radio station installed on a car, you do not need to involve another person who would sit at the base station. Naturally, your mobile station must have a "beeper".

The board for the device was not developed. I did it on a breadboard (Fig. 2), leaving room on it for mounting various additional devices.

Of course, in addition to the service proposed above, this device can be used to remotely turn on / off various devices. Also, this scheme is suitable for radio control systems models. To do this, the transmitter must use a DTMF encoder chip used in telephony in dialers. The device can also be used in a telephone set. Having supplemented your phone with an auto-pickup circuit (there are several circuits on my website), you can use this device to control home appliances through your phone.

The world's tallest astronomical observatory opened 04.05.2024

Exploring space and its mysteries is a task that attracts the attention of astronomers from all over the world. In the fresh air of the high mountains, far from city light pollution, the stars and planets reveal their secrets with greater clarity. A new page is opening in the history of astronomy with the opening of the world's highest astronomical observatory - the Atacama Observatory of the University of Tokyo. The Atacama Observatory, located at an altitude of 5640 meters above sea level, opens up new opportunities for astronomers in the study of space. This site has become the highest location for a ground-based telescope, providing researchers with a unique tool for studying infrared waves in the Universe. Although the high altitude location provides clearer skies and less interference from the atmosphere, building an observatory on a high mountain poses enormous difficulties and challenges. However, despite the difficulties, the new observatory opens up broad research prospects for astronomers. ... >>

Controlling objects using air currents 04.05.2024

The development of robotics continues to open up new prospects for us in the field of automation and control of various objects. Recently, Finnish scientists presented an innovative approach to controlling humanoid robots using air currents. This method promises to revolutionize the way objects are manipulated and open new horizons in the field of robotics. The idea of controlling objects using air currents is not new, but until recently, implementing such concepts remained a challenge. Finnish researchers have developed an innovative method that allows robots to manipulate objects using special air jets as "air fingers". The air flow control algorithm, developed by a team of specialists, is based on a thorough study of the movement of objects in the air flow. The air jet control system, carried out using special motors, allows you to direct objects without resorting to physical ... >>

Purebred dogs get sick no more often than purebred dogs 03.05.2024

Caring for the health of our pets is an important aspect of the life of every dog owner. However, there is a common assumption that purebred dogs are more susceptible to diseases compared to mixed dogs. New research led by researchers at the Texas School of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences brings new perspective to this question. A study conducted by the Dog Aging Project (DAP) of more than 27 companion dogs found that purebred and mixed dogs were generally equally likely to experience various diseases. Although some breeds may be more susceptible to certain diseases, the overall diagnosis rate is virtually the same between both groups. The Dog Aging Project's chief veterinarian, Dr. Keith Creevy, notes that there are several well-known diseases that are more common in certain breeds of dogs, which supports the notion that purebred dogs are more susceptible to disease. ... >>

SSDs have no future, scientists say 25.02.2012

Researchers at the University of California San Diego have concluded that solid-state drives (SSDs) have no future. Evolution leaves this technology no chance of success in the long run. According to scientists, flash drives will inevitably face insurmountable obstacles.

The fact is that miniaturization in order to increase volumes while reducing cost leads to a deterioration in the technical characteristics of flash memory.

University experts base their assessment on a study of 45 different samples of flash memory from six manufacturers. They found that decreasing technology standards progressively increase delays, decrease throughput, and increase the chance of errors. Extrapolating the obtained results, the scientists came to the conclusion that at the turn of 6,5 nm, which is expected to be mastered in mass production in 2024, the indicators degrade to an unacceptably low level.

In other words, there is a contradiction between the need to increase storage density to increase storage capacity and reduce the cost of memory, and performance and reliability indicators. While SSD technology looks attractive at a certain point, the more manufacturers make progress in increasing the volume and lowering the cost of SSDs, the worse the devices themselves will become from the consumer's point of view.
