it's amusing the trouble we go through to get nearly perfect sound. the sad part, out of thousands of recordings that i own there are at most a couple dozen that both have a great performance and are well recorded.

well done, very nice board.

The art of war is a young man's book, may i suggest a tang dynasty poem, The Song of Everlasting Regret, should fit in an even smaller eeprom.

"Enjoy what days we have" -Robin Lovelock Beautiful way to end a video.

did a little google sleuthing and others are having issues with I2C, recommendation from the manufacturer is to stick with serial.

The audiophile business is fascinating class D acceptance boggles the mind but it's nothing new there was a fancy amplifier that used a national semi chip and charged a premium price. I remember when Carver first used a switching power supply and it was accepted who knows if it is now. The part...

It looks like class D is accepted by audiophiles, color me shocked.

A few decades ago I did buy an audiophile amplifier, back breaking heavy. It's the only amplifier of many I've owned that blew the output stage. Seems like the more expensive an amplifier, the greater the chance of failure. Can't agree more. As much as I listen to my hi fi I also attend many...

How often do people blow speakers, I have a pair I bought in 1981, played pretty much daily and never even blew a fuse. I'm assuming fuses are no longer audiophile approved, my speakers have a single fuse that goes to a Peerless tweeter. I did replace the fuses as preventative maintenance...

True :)

just a little warning, i don't remember the details and am too lazy to search, if the key fob button is pressed too often without opening a door it will brick itself. you have to press it many times but it's something to keep in mind while experimenting. it's very expensive to reprogram a fob if...

I had my first go with AI using bing, the results were less than impressive. I'm also seeing it all over the web, I looked up my favorite violinist and was taken to a website that had all the data correct, written badly. Reading anything by hippy, alen and a number of others is more than...

the debates have happened long ago, post modernism is very old. people cranking out much of this drivel are poorly educated computer nerds serving drivel to poorly educated public. there was a time when engineers and scientists received a well rounded education, J. Robert Oppenheimer was a...

could not agree more :)

I think AI will be little more than a novelty, tech is hitting a wall and they are trying anything and everything to stay relevant. I have a 10 year old laptop and a brand new one, for everything I use a laptop there is no difference, yes the 10 year old laptop was a higher end unit at the time...

I have some good news. Used an NPN transistor, 2N3904 and the diode mixing circuit hippy suggested. For the base resistor going to serial I used 220 ohms and the collector resistor is a 15 ohm. If aimed well I got 2 meters of range a large improvement over what I had without the transistor. I...

tested the range today, half a meter at best and that's with the IR Led and receiver aligned. I'm using a single LiPo cell so around 4V and I lowered the resistance to 80 ohms from 220 ohms. Looks like I'll need a transistor driver to boost current, I might have a MOSFET that triggers under 3...

BTW, I'm using 1200 baud which is more than ample for my purpose, i can go slower if need be.

I had a chance to work on it today before i read your comments. works great, used a 220 ohm resistor in series with the IR LED. have not tested the range i have them on same breadboard now. it works even if i place a sheet of paper between the led and the receiver. i will test the range...

For my Volume Control project I would like to use infrared but not in the usual sense with sending codes using remote control unit. What I would like to do is establish a serial connection with the picaxe but instead of using RF modules do it using IR LED and IR receiver. I did some googling and...
