    Audio measurements automated (Sone unit of loudness)

    Strange problem for me.. new territory. I appreciate every opinion and experience you have to offer on this topic. I need to record a button click. This is for user-experience thing. I have Babyface Pro FS and a very good and expensive microphone. What are my options to automate this thing with...

    That link led me to some site my anti-virus warned.

    What is this unit called Sone?

    I have never heard of this unit before. I have worked in many different tech things.. amateur tv, embedded systems, robotics. And now I am asked to measure a devices sound as "Sone" units. If somebody has experience about those unit... well I don't even know what exactly what to ask. What is...

    Softwares for drawing circuits for documentation or presentations.

    Few threads about this.. ten years old. If you know good online sites where to draw elec circuits for presentations.. please share links.

    Calibrating a Current Shunt

    I have this design for current measurements around uA to mA range.. maybe in the future few amps. Nice IC-chip amplifier for this purpose (INA21x). I have a relay to switch between different shunts to little bit change the range. The problem is calibration. Could there be a design that I could...

    Idea of using random numbers to generate pwm.

    Just a general interest.. studying. I have built an electric guitar from scratch, but never learned to play it. I like woodworking and electronics.. programming. Do you know how a violin works? The bow is a random number generator and the violin resonates on a specific frequency.. but it needs...

    Idea of using random numbers to generate pwm.

    No, I mean this (Signal Density Register is just another name for Duty Cycle): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stochastic_Signal_Density_Modulation

    Idea of using random numbers to generate pwm.

    No, you vary the compare value. The same way you do traditional pwm. Only difference is that the counter values do not come in order. They come in random order.

    Idea of using random numbers to generate pwm.

    The same way than in a traditional microcontroller pwm module. But instead of using a linear counter, this would use evenly distributed random numbers. Traditional: Take timer value, compare with desired duty cycle, set output high or low. Random pwm: Take random value, compare with desired...

    Idea of using random numbers to generate pwm.

    I'm talking about how the final squarewave PWM signal is generated. Maybe a picture helps. When a counter counts from 0 to 255 and then rolls over to 0 and keeps counting. It is a sawtooth pattern. There are many benefits of using random pwm. Main benefit is reduced electromagnetic...

    Idea of using random numbers to generate pwm.

    I think this fits under Microcontrollers (embedded systems). This is just an idea I had few years ago and now I'm considering developing and testing it again. Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) is usually generated with a counter and a compare value. When the counter is below the compare value, the...

    How fast can you toggle an I/O pin?

    Of course calling the "digitalWrite" function is slower than direct write to register. The "digitalWrite" function is designed to be thread-safe and there is a lot of overhead. It disables interrupts, saves the execution context and pushes given parameters to stack.. then writes the pin changes...

    Help with flat earth facts and English language.

    Hello So, it is weekend. I had this idea of making fun of flat earth "movement". The idea is to draw two pictures about how gravity works. Picture 1 explains how gravity works on a big planet. My simple understanding is that you are pulled towards the mass-center of object.. always. Is this...

    Tracking a person with RFID or similar tech

    You can't build that kind of system with RFID technology. Just google "GPS tracker for kids".
