hello everybody, again im here asking for help again, i could not find the recomended crystal oscillator for this project (3.579545 MHz). is there any alternative to this ?
Thanks

Its what your friend in Your mind, what you in your friends mind
Assuming this is for the DTMF chip?, it obviously has to be exact - as everything is derived from the crystal. It should be available from sources that stock the chip, or you may need to have one made.Originally Posted by aljamri

The 3.58Mhz xtal is old but around. It was used for color burst in TV.
Here is am 8870 schematic, the first gif.

EDIT: gif2 is closer to what you want. Also, that is a crystal, you called it an oscillator, that is why Nigel said you can build one.

Right, if that's an NTSC colour crystal they are fairly easily available in Europe, even though not really used over here.Originally Posted by mramos1

Could you post a schematic when you are done? I'm sure there are a few muslims that would love this circuit... (sorry, about that)
Actually, I work irregular hours and it would be great to dial up the home phone and turn on/off stuff. Mostly I'd like to control some of my home security functions remotely. Like arm/disarm the alarm and select which cameras are being recorded.
Sorry about the terrorism crack, but I got razzed pretty good last month for helping on a robotics project, that some people though was inappropriate. I thought it improbable that it would never be built (time, money, and practical function), so I outlined the various sub-systems that this guy would need to develop, then all hell broke loose.
HarvyH42, I put a link three post up to a couple 8870 schematics.
They don't use remote, they like to blow themselves up and everybody nearby.Originally Posted by HarveyH42

Will give #2 a try. I scrapped an old color tv a while back, maybe I'll get lucky on the crystal. I was going to us LM567 decoder, but it seems that you need one for each button you want to decode.
Audioguru: I agree that the bombers are mostly low tech, why spend the time/money building a fancy bomb, when there so many willing volunteers to do the job. The 9/11 terrorists didn't build anything, just got into flight school. Never came out, but suspect that they got a student loan from the government, our government.
DTMF uses two frequencies so two LM567 ICs are needed to decode each button, until other buttons share the same frequencies.
In the '80's, DTMF decoder ICs were rated for "talk-off", which is how many times they wrongly decoded speech as DTMF when a test recording was played. I trhink the LM567 system would fail miserably.

I still like the pic version I posted a link for in post # 4 of this thread.
If the fellow was in the US I would mail him a couple 3.58Mhz, I have them here.
I'm trying to connect the mobile earphone wire into the decoder input terminals, and I'll put my mobile on auto answering mode ( after 3 rings) then I'll press the numbers of my mobile to give beeps, is that signal clear and strong enough to be decoded or not? please help me with ckt.tell me wat 2 do futher...........
