Music (Data) transfer by IR by amplification
The circuit of this project is an improved version of the circuit Sound/Voice transmission through IR. The disadvantage of the earlier circuit is the small range. [[wysiwyg_imageupload::]]This circuit has a better range as it uses a better transmitter with an additional amplifying unit before transmitting the electrical signals through IR LED.The transmitter part of this circuit is made using a microphone, BC 547 transistors, op-amp, resistors and capacitors. Added to this the aforementioned IR LED which finally transmits the data (in the case: music) to the receiver.On the other hand, the receiver section uses a TDA 2007 IC which is a dual power audio amplifier. It is aided by a receiver diode, a few capacitors, resistors and speakers. Keep on reading to find out how the circuit is constructed and how it works.
Music (Data) transfer by IR and Audio Amplifier TDA2007
A lot of application needs wireless transmission of sound/voice signals. This interesting circuit based project presents a mechanism to transmit voice/sound signals [[wysiwyg_imageupload::]]on a wireless medium. The transmission takes place through IR. The circuit can be described in two parts: transmitting unit and the receiving unitThe transmitting unit consists of a sound sensor (condenser mic) which converts the sound signal captured into weak electrical signals and an amplifying circuit to amplify the weak signals. The amplified signals are given to an IR LED for transmission.These signals are received by the IR receiver in the receiving unit and amplified using a sound amplifier IC TDA 2007. The output is then fed to the speaker. Keep on reading to find out how the circuit is constructed and how it works.
Serial communication (Data receive) using AVR Microcontroller (ATmega16) USART- (Part 12/46)
Communication between two entities is important for the information flow to take place. In general the information transport system can be parallel in which the [[wysiwyg_imageupload::]]complete byte of data is sent at a time, with each bit having a separate dedicated line or it can be serial where only one communication line is available which is shared by all the bits sequentially. The pros and cons of these two systems are equivalent and selection between the two depends on the application.Data can be exchanged using parallel or serial techniques. Setup for parallel data transfer is not cost effective but is a very fast method of communication. Serial communication is cost effective because it requires only a single line of connection but on the other hand is a slow process in comparison to parallel communication. This article explains serial communication of AVR microcontroller (ATmega16) with PC. The data is transmitted from the controller using RS232 standard and displayed on the PC using Hyper Terminal.
