Schematic diagram of the EI9GQ key is shown in fig. 1. It (like all devices based on PIC controllers) is distinguished by its circuit simplicity, since the main weight is included in the program entered in the PIC controller. The key manipulator is connected to electrical communication lines 1 - 1 (3 - movable or "common" contact. 1 - dash contact. 2 - dot contact). Circuits R3C1 and R2C2 exclude the possibility of operation of the key from impulse noise and interference. The R1C5 circuit in combination with an external variable resistor (it is connected to lines 3. 4) sets the clock frequency of the controller oscillator and. hence the transfer rate. This variable resistor has a resistance of 5 kOhm and is switched on by a "rheostat".

The signal generated by the key is fed to the output transistor VT1. This node is designed for the most common "switching" option in modern transceivers - shorting to the common wire of the control bus (usually it has an initial voltage of +12 V). The current through the transistor should not exceed ten milliamps. The control bus is connected to line 7. If in a particular design the control current is greater or the voltage on the control bus is negative polarity, then a relay is installed in the collector circuit of transistor VT1, the contacts of which make the corresponding switching in the transceiver.

Diode VD2 is designed to protect the key from accidental contact with negative polarity voltage on the transistor, and when embedding the key in a specific design, it can not be installed. The key is fed from a +12 V source (it is supplied to line 6) through a parametric stabilizer on the VD1 diode.

PIC16C84 and PIC16F84 can be used in this design. A zener diode is of any low power for a stabilization voltage of 5.1 V. As a transistor VT1, KT315 or KT342 with any letter index is suitable, and the VD2 diode can be KD520A. The key is placed on a printed circuit board measuring 41x38 mm (Fig. 2).

The source code of the program in assembler (MPASM), the codes of which are entered into the controller's memory, is given in the table. The presence of the source text makes it possible for beginner "peak controllers" to get acquainted with the basics of programming.

As can be seen from the comments to the program, this key provides both normal and "iambic" mode of operation of the key. The latter requires a special manipulator that allows simultaneous shorting to a common wire of the "dot" bus and the "dash" bus. This mode of operation, which appeared in the sixties in the tube telegraph keys, is characterized by the fact. that when you press "dot" and "dash" at the same time, it produces an "alternating" signal: dot-dash-dot-dash ... or dash-dot-dash-dot ...

It is called "iambic" because these rhythms resemble the poetic size of iambs (sing "ti-taa-ti-taa-ti-taa" - pure iambic). This is convenient when transmitting some letters that have such combinations (for example, the letters Ц, Я, К and others), since they are formed in this "one-click" mode (more precisely, by almost simultaneously pressing or "capturing" both heads of the manipulator). Which "iambic" letter will be transmitted is determined by which of the manipulator contacts will be closed first and how long the "capture" of the manipulator heads will last. The "yambic" mode of operation is very peculiar, but some radio amateurs like it.

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. ... >>

Cocoa with flavonoids makes people smarter 18.10.2023

Increasing the consumption of flavonoids, which are part of cocoa beans, has a positive effect on human cognitive functions. American scientists came to this conclusion.

Cocoa beans contain many beneficial substances, including flavonoids. Studies have shown that increasing the concentration of these substances can speed up human thought processes even with high concentrations of carbon dioxide in the air.

Flavonoids are substances present in plants that play an important role in the human body. They have antioxidant activity, strengthen blood vessels, slow down blood clotting and improve the elasticity of red blood cells. Flavanols, a subgroup of flavonoids, are present in cocoa, grapes, apples, tea, berries and other foods. Although they are known to have beneficial effects on heart and vascular health, their effects on the brain require more research.

This scientific study was the first to confirm the link between flavonoid consumption and improved cognitive performance. As part of the work, scientists used a drink made from cocoa beans as a source of these compounds. However, the researchers note that the results also apply to other foods, such as fruits and green tea.

In the study, 18 healthy men aged 18 to 40 underwent a standard cerebral blood flow test. Under conditions of hypercapnia caused by inhaling air containing high levels of carbon dioxide, participants were given cognitive tests to assess brain activity.

The results showed that participants who consumed the flavanol-enriched drink had higher blood oxygen levels during hypercapnia. The concentration of oxygen in brain tissue increased three times compared to a regular drink. Also, after consuming cocoa with flavonoids, participants completed cognitive tests 11% faster.
