DIY Seas Coaxial Atmos Speaker Facelift with PSA Veneer
I had 7pcs audiovideo.fi Quutio speakers using a custom Seas T18REX/XACG coaxial driver in a slim sealed box. The boxes were finished with DC fix vinyl film and I wanted to replace that with a real wood walnut veneer. I removed the film, sanded and sealed the boxes shellac, applied PSA veneer and finished with Osmo Polyx oil.

    Please bear with me, I'm not a very technical person. If I want a standalone ADC I have to buy the MCHStreamer, the MCHStreamer Buffer, the AK5572 board and the One for all. With the pins I select the Clocking and I suppose the options are for the different frequencies (I use 48khz 99% of the time). I see on your website that the Oner for all board is out of stock, when do you expect to have in stock again?.

    • @kaamostech
      @kaamostech 21 день назад

      To follow the example in the video, yes. Plus the cables. MCHStreamer is always I2S Master so the ADC is Slave. In this case the ADC locks into whatever clocks the MCHStreamer provides so you would change the sample rate in the MCHStreamer with the PC driver (or inside a software you use). I will have more One Four All in stock this coming week.

    I'm halfway through building mine. What's ironic is the Black & Decker 1303S Oven uses 1950's bimetal strip tech as a thermocontroller. My experience with such cheap devices, ( Barn Heater ) are that they wear out in 2 years, requiring adjusting the thermostat more & more until the arcs totally erode the surface. It's called planned obsolescence.Then you dispose of the device and buy another. Wiring in this Controleo3 kit, will make this oven solid state and operate many years longer than it's initial intention. I also cut my finger and appreciate the bandaid included in the kit.

    May I ask a question referred to s/pdif. I've got a PC soundcard that should have spdif out but corresponding components are not populated on the PCB. There are places for it and also pcb mask says which component should be soldered. I think that schematics should be somewhat standart for such things but I'm not familiar with it. Is it possible to restore this function that has been disabled by manufacturer? This is an old soundcard with interesting wavetable synthesizer onboard and I would like to get opportunity to get clean digital output avoiding it's bad analog audio output which isn't good quality. This soundcard has even spdif out in windows driver but no way to use it.

    Hi there. Quite an in depth video. The Keysight manual is very clear about the use of the digital in/outputs and how they operate. On page 68 en onwards this is explained in detail. What I guess you would like to do is to toggle the Rigol Power supply on or off via the Keysight buttons. This can be done by daisy chain. But I guess you've already found that option and put it use. Else why not use SCPI commands to make this work?

    There are lots of YT videos recommending this stuff, so I've tried it a few times now - and I've come to the conclusion that it really isn't a good idea. In normal SMD soldering you only briefly heat each pin, but with this stuff there is heat applied to all the pins at once, potentially for quite a long time. I've had lots of lifted pads and some ruined boards because of it. The only sure way I've found to remove a component with a package similar to what you show is to cut through the pins with a craft knife (score once, then slight slicing pressure on the crack to pop each pin away from the chip body. Then lift away the chip (discard), then clean off all the pads with a soldering iron followed by alcohol. It leaves a pristine board with almost no risk of damage. Of course you do need to be willing to sacrifice the chip, but in my experience the cost of a new chip is nearly always a trivial consideration compared to junking the entire board.

I'm not sure why the profile needs to run to 235 when the melting point is listed as 183 in the datasheet for the paste. Maybe the other components in the alloy have not fully melted at 183 ?

    Very useful. Thank you. Also great to see it done from the UK/EU perspective where it is hard to buy ovens with good quartz elements which are 230V. I also picked an oven which has 2x115V elements. I will buy a second one and do the same as you did. That was my plan already, but seeing you do it has made me more confident that this is the right way. I was debating whether I will need the boost element. My oven is 900W, so 4 elements will be 1800W and it is only ~10L like yours. So with the boost from the kits it will massively powered. (I have 2x this oven : www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07MS9NNLK/ ) Interesting that you found the cool down rate difficult. This might be solvable with software? I can understand that it would be hard to find just the right amount of servo angle to get the cool rate right. I don't think that part of the profile is very critical, but if you care about it, it should be possible to do either: a) keep controlling using the servo angle all the way down. ie use a whole separate PID loop to open/close the door ... not a simple change, but should be possible. b) Open the door "slightly too much" and "backfill" this with some heating. ie slow the down the cooling by keeping the elements on a little bit. again requires new PID loop/parameters. (... I am a control systems engineer so I may be overcomplicating this...)

I'm planning a build, and trying to determine if the "standard model" as described will work fine for me, or if I should just do it right the first time and build a 4 element "deluxe model". It doesn't seem to be too much more work to make a deluxe model, rather than a single toaster. And the cost isn't extreme, at about $40 for the extra toaster. Any advice?

    • @kaamostech
      @kaamostech 4 года назад

      Sorry I've missed your question. You need a) a lot of power b) separate control for top and bottom elements. At least 230V models of these oven have two 115V elements in series, meaning you cannot control them separately. In the US they are probably in parallel so you could. Not sure if power would be enough then. Maybe. The building was certainly a LOT more painful due to re-fitting of all these elements. So if you find a suitable oven where you don't need to move them, it's a lot easier.

But you can also connect microcontroller via I2C to control registers. Audio output is I2S so you need something in there, and one option is I2S to USB module. You need at least master clock from the USB module. ADC can be I2S Master or Slave.
