Hi All,
a very nice and useful schematic indeed!
That remembers me to Experiment 89 and 90 of the old Egger/Braun Base manual:
- 89: Soundlevel Meter (Schallpegelmesser)
- 90: Burglar Alarm (Geräuschwarnanlage)
This two schematics were used / planned for the Lectron Bastelsätz sets (see there, including videos)
The problem of 90 is that the light only shows with a short flash any noise activity, but never leave ON until another noise will happen. So the light control is quite nice but not practicable because I would like to see the light for more than several seconds (= alarm !). Here the use of a Flip Flop will be the solution, like in your circuit.
Another planned Bastelsätz was the Remote Control Device (Fernsteuerung) – see there incl. video -, presumably a similar circuit which switch ON a light / TV set / radio and – with a second noise e.g. hand clapping – make it switched OFF. To switch a 230 VAC unit I have to use a relay with power contacts (not the Lectron relay). This is a dangerous area so it’s not recommended for assembling by non-experts!
The schematic:
Please note: the internal wiring of the Flipflop and the Impedance transformer are placed on a separate PCB and on the mainboard, see photo above. A control LED will show the active state.
As always: the combination of linear and digital functions (and – if meaningful – with relay) is a good possibility for understanding electronics!
Best,
Günther
