hi there please i am doing a project on an automatic multipurpose siren system that switches automatically b/w ambulance,police and fire brigade sounds. I discovered that a um3561 aound generator ic does thid but i do not know how to swith automatically b/w the three sounds though i have a schematic that produces these sounds using the ic it usese only a 2 pole 4 way switch to manually select the individual sounds no auto switching that cycles b/w the three. Any help enyboby it is almost late now oin fact i just need the schematic plus a manual option along with the auto if possible so one can select what u need as use requires.
please can anyone help :confused:

You can replicate a manual switch with an analog switch like a CD4066, and a three or four state counter. Each clock pulse would advance the counter, which would change the configuration of the analog switches, which would change the sound.

There might be other better ways, but I have to go get ready for work.
 
Sorry I cannot help you as I was ripped off by a Nigerian royal prince who needed to dump a couple of million dollars into my bank account, short term, and to reward me with thousands of dollars in return. He's sent me many emails of the supposedly safe and legal transaction, but still no money has been received to this day. :rolleyes: ;)
 
Did you pay for some expenses for the Nigerian Prince?
Did you give him your bank account details?
Does he also try to sell low price medicine?
Cheap Rollax watches?
Cars?
 
None of those, but he did spam me with Viagra and Celebrex mail!!;)
 
I think everybody gets Viagra spam. Why would anybody buy the stuff from an unknown place, what would be in the bottle??
I don't get Celebrex spam but have seen TV ads that don't explain what it is for. I don't know and don't care what it is for.
 
Celebrex is arthritis pain medicine. Combine it with Viagra and what would normally take an old man all night long to accomplish, now becomes the opposite where he accomplishes all night long!
 
I don't think medicine revives an old couch potato. Lack of exercise and over-eating turns people into vegetables.

thank u so much papabravo if u can help me with a schematic i willl be very grateful as for HItech and audioguru we learn from our mistakes but if everyone concluded all americans are gunslingers will that be right? sorry for ur loss but if u can assist me all i want is ideas or a schematic, not dollars i am already blessed thank u.
So anyone assist me plz

That's true, exercise is one of the best ways to spice up your love life. Cycling is probably the best forms of exercise as it increases blood flow around the groin area and it's probably best to do this with your partener as you'll both reap the benifits.

You want us to do your homework?
You are in your final year of study and you can't design a simple counter driving a CD4066?
 
I gave you the clue. The details are, as is typical in pedagogical situations, left as an exercise for the reader. Please give it a try, trust me, you'll be glad you did.
 
papabravo thanks for the advice and i'll be sure to work on it now. In fact right now i am checking on counters and cd4066 ics and when i get hopefully i'll work it out and be home and dry.Though all the counters i can see so far all look so complex but i still believe. thanks
God bless
 
audioguru thanks u do have a point but too much theory here, its the system but i need to improve.But guys i have a question is the counter supposed to drive the cd4066 or both are options for the 3 state switcing i want to do.PApa i think that is what u meant?

The CD4066 has 4 electronic switches in it just like on the circuit that uses mechanical switches. Just connect the switches the same as in the circuit. Then connect the outputs of the counter to the control inputs of the CD4066 so it sequences the way you want. You might need to gate together some of the counter outputs, then the gate drives the CD4066.
 
"More power to your elbow" ??? AudioG, what exactly have you been doing with your elbow lately?;) (knudge, knudge). As for exercise spicing up one's sex life, that's very true, especially when it's targeted to one very specific muscle!:rolleyes:
 
hey audioguru sorry its me i am in a fix with this stuff i got your reply but well i have no knowlegde of circuits all i can do is just arrange and solder a predesigned one thatz why i asked for a schematic b4. I still need help. Like the counter can i have examples of IC names for 3 state counters i can ue. and the main problem is i do not know how to connect pin for pin the Cd4066,the counter and the um3561 to cycle btweem the 3 sounds i want from the un3561. How do i do this ?non of my guys hee know in fact how???:confused: :(
Plz lets talk or anybody
