    Using two identical circuits shown in your video, is there an electrical connection between these two, or the blend of sound produced is just a different combination of C1 and R2 values in each circuit and then powering them simultaneously?

      Basically the frequency generated by the timer is dependent on the charging on discharging of the C1, the smaller C1 is the faster this process happens so the higher the frequency. C2 is to prevent noise and or a DC level from interfering with the sounds.

      I heard that for Wien Sine Wave Generator the formula is f=1/(2pi * R2 * C1)
      Is this a correct formula??

    • @2bit661
      @2bit661 2 года назад

      There is the LM 567 chip. The LM567 has an adjustable internal oscillator, and when it detects a match, it uses an internal resistor to send a high signal on one of the LM 567's output pins (pin 8 actually).
      In short, you can configure the LM 567 to control a pitch.

    Did anyone know you can take an audio bipolar capacitor and probe (carefully) different chips on electronics and hear odd bus noises! It is neat as you can use old and odd circuit boards for odd synth effects! I did some cool experiments with data cards, batteries, and a simple amp! I am looking for if anyone else done this? It is safer to do with low current battery power devices! Careful they can be destroyed! This can be done to boards from VCRs to DSP sound cards! All one needs is an oscillator to activate the clocks on the boards if powering everything is an issue. Surprises everywhere!

    Can anyone comment on this?
    OK, so not criticizing, but this video isn't the traditional use of a 555 timer. To get right to my concern, I am worried that this setup may be damaging to the chip over long term.
    I will try and explain. (And, if you look up an internal diagram of a 555 timer, my comment is going to make more sense.) Pin 7 is the discharge pin. Internally, pin 7 goes through an NPN transistor (from collector to emitter) and terminates to ground (Pin 8). My point is that pin 7 discharges to ground. (Again, this is not obvious unless you see an internal 555 timer diagram).
    In the video at 1:42, he pops in resistor R2 which is 2.2 kiloOhm. This R2 resistor is takes power from VCC and sends it into Pin 7, the discharge pin. This is fine. This is no concern. That is plenty of resistance between VCC and ground. (Again, Pin 7 is grounded internally inside the chip.)
    However!!!
    At 4:47 , he replaces R2 with a variable 10 KiloOhm potentiometer. That's sort of OK. But, if you twist the 10K pot down to 0 Ohms, you are sending VCC almost directly to ground. (Again, Pin 7 is grounded internally inside the chip.)
    I created this exact setup on a breadboard (using a 10K pot). I powered my 555 chip with my adjustable bench top power supply. And, when I twisted the 10K pot down to 0 Ohms, I could see the current meter spike up (on my bench top power supply).
    This is a well-made vid. Its great.
    Granted, the breadboarded circuit might be for temporary experimentation. If you soldered a hardwired circuit, do you think the 555 IC would damaged through constant use? (In fact, I am soldering such a circuit on a PCB board.)
    Maybe adding a 220 ohm resistor in series with your 10K pot isn't a bad idea.
    Thanks for reading this. Does anyone have an opinion?

    can anyone explain me why exactly Capacitor C2 is used in series with the speaker?

    • @TheDiggerRocks
      @TheDiggerRocks 9 лет назад +1

      The capacitor is used to remove DC offset. Basically the output will have fluctuating component (the sound signal) and a steady DC component. The latter is unwanted because it sets a non-zero baseline voltage across the speaker and therefore limits the speakers range of movement. For a good explanation see: electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/109936/what-do-capacitors-do-in-a-system-with-a-speaker

    • @2bit661
      @2bit661 2 года назад

      @@TheDiggerRocks That's a good answer. (I take it you relied on Google.)
      I remember experimenting sending in audio signals (AC signals) through the microphone on my CB radio. Without going into detail, it didn't work. (After an online search, my solution was to add a small value 10 microFarad capacitor in series with the speaker.)
      While I can't give a good explanation, I can speculate an answer. So, even if you look at a capacitor's schematic symbol it shows that a capacitor is not a complete path for current to flow. Even a microphone has a similar schematic symbol. In a capacitor signals aren't passed through, so much as they are electrostatically pulsed against the two plates.
      Likewise, a speaker needs the ability to vibrate in and out.
      If you take an old speaker you aren't concerned about wrecking, and apply a small DC voltage, you'll notice it just drives the speaker in one direction, probably out. The addition of the capacitor in series with the speaker helps transmit the AC signal.
      Sending a DC signal through a speaker just pushes the speaker outwards, rather than vibrating it back and forth. This is why capacitors are added in series.
