1kHz to 24 kHz | High frequency sine wave test tone

-

High-frequency sine wave speaker test tone from 1 kHz to 24 kHz for an audio lover who want to test his/her sound system and hearing ability vs frequency. Each frequency duration is 3 seconds. The video contains wave pattern too.

If you use this video as hearing test tone you must use good quality headphones or hi-fi sound system because laptop loudspeaker frequency responds not good both low and high frequencies

 Play video below by set video quality to Full HD for the best result.

 BEWARE: LOWER YOUR VOLUME FIRST!!!

How to add power supply filter capacitor to amplifier board.

-
Image
I saw a new comment on my video, he asked me how to add a filter capacitor to amplifier board D.C. power supply. I think it's a good question so I will explain it here. What is a power supply filter capacitor? It is the capacitor that used to filter AC ripple from DC power supply present to amplifier board. If an amplifier has low capacitive power supply capacitor, it may present a little hum(50/60 Hz low-frequency sound) that you can hear in a quiet room. The capacitor also stores power and bring it instantly to your amplifier when an amplifier needs more power for a short period of time such as  explosion sound in a movie. However, If an amplifier has high-frequency power supply noise from a switching power supply, small capacitor need to parallel to a power supply and must be attached close to power amplifier IC as much as possible. Below pictures are the place that you add power supply capacitor. PAM 8610 board amplifier power supply sign Cautio

Resistor color code

-
Image
A resistor is the most important electrical component in almost every electronic circuit, it can limit current to any load such as led, transistor, op-amp, etc.  We must read the resistor color code if we want to know the resistive value, tolerance, temperature coefficient. Resistors have different color bands (3,4,5,6) the more color bands the more resistor information. Now let's start with 3 bands resistor color code. The above resistor has only 3 bands First digit, Second digit, and multiply. A 3 bands resistor color code has a fixed +/- 20% tolerance which means if the color code value is 1,000 ohms the real-life resistive value may be +/- 200 ohms.  4 band resistor color code A 4 bands resistor color code has a tolerance value color strip, the resistor on the above picture has 5% tolerance. This type of resistor uses in a regular circuit such as television, radio, washing machine. 5 bands resistor color code A 5 bands resistor color codes have th

How to connect volume control to an amplifier

-
Image
I saw a comment on my Youtube video, he asked me how to connect any amplifier module to a volume control or potentiometer. I think so many people who want to start an electronic project must know this basic wiring too, I hope this wiring diagram will help an electronic DIYer like me. First thing you need to know: use shield wire for an input signal to volume control and from volume control to amplifier if you don't want you amplifier suffers from parasitic oscillation (sound like JeeeeJeeeee). keep a wiring as short as possible. use low resistive value volume control (5-10 kilo-ohms) if the amplifier has random parasitic noise when you turn a volume control up or down. volume control is a potentiometer. Volume control principle is a signal divider, the more volume control output(yellow line) near input signal source(pink line) the most signal flow to an amplifier. When you lower a volume control the resistive value between a volume control output

10 watts 8 ohms class d amplifier pam8610 sound test

-
Image
Pam8610 IC is 10 watts @ 8 ohms (15 watts @ 4 ohms small heat sink require) stereo class d amplifier with very high efficiency over 90% and the amplifier works well without any heat sink at full power!!! . The amplifier board is very low cost ( around 1 $) but deliver 10 watts @ 8 ohms power from 13 volts power supply. As you can see in my video that the amp board require only one 100 uf electrolytic capacitor for supply decoupling to eliminate hum from switching power supply(some ic amplifier require 1000 uf to eliminate hum from the power supply). Sound testing: The amplifier sound good with good bass respond  good bass impact and well control (kick bass very good). High frequency clean, impact well and flat but lack transparent. Singer vocal is clean but not transparent. The sound stage is wide but space between instrument not precise. pam 8610 amp board is the quiet amp with very less hiss noise (5 cm away from tweeter to my ear :) which is not a big problem at all and the

Hall effect sensor wiring diagram and test video

Hall effect sensor switch is a switch that turns on when enough magnetic field near the IC. You can use hall effect sensor to make many Diy projects such as rpm meter, magnet detector, and more project involves with a magnet. Did you know? Hall effect sensor uses in many electric machines, example; when you open washing machine door and the machine stop spinning, or when you open microwave door then it pauses and send beeping sound until you close the door. Hall effect sensor IC in this post is A3144(old component but work well and low cost) Send output low (0 volts) when strong magnetic field near a sensor, that why somebody asked on the internet why his project involves hall effect sensor didn't work. Hall effect sensor wiring diagram. You can see an above image that a load(LED in this picture) connect to positive electrode and output instead output and ground. That's the reason why some projects don't work and will never work because the output low when magn

simple bass booster circuit diagram

-
Image
This bass boost diagram is easy to build and work well, I made it because people asked me the schematic diagram of bass boost diagram on my youtube channel. The circuit has 9 dB gain@40 Hz that mean you will get good bass performance even you play music to a small speaker. Why this circuit doesn't look like circuits on the internet? Almost every circuit on the internet uses R/C filter between pre-amp and power amp stage to bypass high frequency to a ground and that seems audio signal being amplified and bypass to ground. I think it wastes pre-amplifier gain, the more gain preamp stage the more distortion to the audio signal, so I use a capacitor to send more negative feedback to pre-amp negative input when the frequency higher than cut-off frequency, capacitor impedance(resistance) higher when frequency lower and that make negative feedback decrease when frequency lower. An op-amp distortion lowers when negative feedback higher, that mean high-frequency disto

Combine 3 speakers to one amplifier

-
Image
I saw a question in my Youtube video about how to combine speakers for one amplifier unit without making any damage to an amplifier.  An speaker impedance must be match or higher than an amplifier manufacturer specification, if you use lower speaker impedance than an amplifier specification, your amplifier may end up damaged or make a fire when you play loud music. A commercial amplifier can handle between 4 - 16 ohms speaker impedance and maybe lower to 2 ohms for car subwoofer amplifier. but in a question, he asked me how to combine 3 speakers @ 6 ohms load to one amplifier. The simple solution is to make 3 separate amplifiers and share same input, but it makes the circuit more complicated and uses many electronic components. However, if connect all 3 speakers in series, it will make impedance equal to 18 ohms and it makes an amplifier output drop so much. So, I use 2 speakers connect in parallel and series to other speakers like an image below SP 1 and SP 2 impedanc

DIY toggle touch sensitive switch

Hello everyone, today I'm going to show you how to make a touch sensitive switch, the switch makes you control light,motor just by touch the switch. The switch is very long life and safe to operate even your hand wet because you can put the touch sensor behind any plastic plate and make a touch sensitive light switch or you even can put the circuit in a lamp and make a touch lamp. This circuit uses CD4013BE d flip-flop IC . When you touch the touch sensor( The red module on the above picture) The sensor send output high to CD4013BE pin3 and make CD4013BE pin 1 change state to on or off once. However, CD4013BE output current not high enough for a relay to operate(yellow-black box on the above picture) so you need a PNP transistor(BD140) to amplify current for a relay. You can remove R4 and LED if you don't need light indicator in your project. This circuit uses 5 volts DC to operate so you need a transformer and it cause your overall circuit big but you can buy a ti

This Arduino project: a contactless thermometer is good for anyone who wants to measure temperature from any object without touching it. The infrared sensor detects infrared radiation that is emitted from an object and converts the value to digital data and sent the data to the Arduino board via an I2C interface.  The sensor I use in this project is mlx90614, an infrared and ambient temperature sensor. It can measure a wide range of temperature from -70 to 380 °C for object temperature  reading  and the sensor also measure ambient temperature from -40 to 125°C.  Mlx90614 module read an object temperature and ambient temperature and sends both outputs at the same time.  The sensor module cost around 3 - 4 $ from eBay free shipping   worldwide!!! All you need for this project are Arduino unoR3,mlx90614 module,20x4 I2C display, and jumper wire. Below is the temperature sensor wiring diagram:   MLX90614 wiring diagram   VDD ------------------ 3.3V   VSS -------
