1. Margret Sohn’s Project – This project peaked my interest because of its innovative qualities. In this project, various light shows are triggered by specific frequencies that are picked up by a microphone. If there is no frequency being inputed in to the microphone, then there are no lights, but when there is, the pitchContinue reading “Lab #13”

This is used to create a signal from the transmitter circuit, which is received by the receiver circuit, within the time that the signal is present. The transmitter cur cite uses an astable multivibrator, and the receiverContinue reading “Lab #12”

1a. There is a lot I like about these guitar pedals. I think of the creation nd design of guitar pedals as an art form. They are colorful and portray an alt. rock music lifestyle to whomever foot is on the pedal. My my favorite effects are BOSS-DS2 turbo distortion. I also enjoy slice pedalsContinue reading “Lab #11”

1. Graph A 2. Graph B 3. Yes, it is safe too assume they will have the same output. 4. Distortion, sine wave 5. Slight distortion

1. The comparator outputs a square wave and the integrator outputs a triangle wave. 2. If the Vin of an integrator is positive, it will ramp down, and if the Vin is negative, it will ramp up. 3. With a comparator, if the op amp’s + input is connected to a greater voltage that thatContinue reading “Lab #8”

Adding a Capacitor and Resistor You must adfd a resistor and capacitor to the input and output of your circuit for protection. They will regulate the DC voltage in a circuit so they don’t over charge the audio input/output. Calculations R2 = 10k ohms R1 = 10k ohms Gain = 1 + (R2 / R1)Continue reading “Lab #5”

Explaining the Oscilloscope On the graph shown on the oscilloscope, there is an x-axis and a y-axis. The x represents time and the y represents voltage. Using the voltage per division setting on the oscilloscope, you can determine how many volts are each interval of the y-axis. Your can have .1 to 50 volts perContinue reading “LAB #4”

The First Steps of Soldering Turn on the soldering iron by pressing on the switch Turn the dial between 4 and 5 to get a good setting for heat Take the soldering iron out of it’s holder Check the tip of the iron, if it’s more shiny then it is ready to use, but ifContinue reading “Lab #3”
