The cheap MP3 VS1053 codec processor from aliexpress.com is told to be capable of decoding a variety of music formats, including Ogg Vorbis/MP3/AAC/WMA/MIDI audio. VS1053 is also capable of recording in Ogg Vobis file but all the guidance that is available on Internet are either for proprietary boards or for ESP32-IDF which not preferable to try due to excessive coding. A code more than 20 lines is enough t ...

This article shows you how to build a small radio station at home and share music with others. The station can also be used for making announcements in colleges, industries, hospitals, schools and other places using a condenser mic amplifier circuit. In this project an FM transmitter V2.0 module is used, as shown in Fig. 1. It is available on www.ebay.com and www.amazon.in. The module can modulate your voic ...

The most important part is the construction of a functional sample of a Arduino Uno software-defined one transmitter.

Solar charging, via the panel on the back. * 12 position switch to select channel number * Seek up / seek down controls and 'store' button * RDS display of call sign * Frequency display * Battery voltage display * Solar charging current display The software still needs a bit of attention. Its fine if the signal is good and RDS comes in quickly, but if not, then adjusting the volume or changing channel takes ...

Interfacing a RC radio to a microcontroller is a bit of a pain, especially if you want a lot of channels, because you have to time each channel's output individually. An AVR only has one 16 bit timer with two compare channels, so either you can only use two channels at full resolution or you have to waste lots of cycles sampling it. The other hassle is having loads of wires running from the rx to the micro. ...

I was looking for a way to handle wireless communications between two Arduino boards. Other options like Xbee or Bluetooth were going to cost $50 to over $100. Then I found a cheap RF transmitter and receiver at Sparkfun. The total cost is only $9! Here are a few limitations to RF solution: Communications is only one way. If you wanted two way communications you’d need to buy two receivers and two transmitt ...

Using an ATmega 2560 and therefore the heart of Arduino, we have developed a universal remote control with GSM. This allows  to control 2IN/2OUT, DTMF key, gate control and GSM thermostat activated remotely. We have already presented several remote control with different functions. But now we want to present the best remote control ever made with Arduino. The remote control is easier, thanks to the availabi ...

I have an Arduino Uno connected to two IR transmitters and respective receivers. Basically, when one of the receivers detects a beam break, I have a strand of LEDs display a pattern. This all works in principle, but the problem is that when the IR transmitters and receivers are connected to the Arduino, the LEDs flicker with random colors. The specific parts I'm using: Adafruit 36mm 12V LEDs (http://www.ada ...

One of my colleagues, Dr. Shane Mayor, has built a very nice LIDAR system for atmospheric research. It's located at a remote site, at the end of a dirt road, and everything about the system can be controlled remotely except the main pump laser power supply. That supply has a key-switch, which has to be manually turned to activate the system. He asked me to see what I could do to make it all remote-controlle ...

My students need to learn LabVIEW —I know, it's proprietary software, and expensive, but until a viable open-source equivalent comes along we're stuck with it— and one of the exercises I have them do is to make a program to analyze radioactive decay. This gives them experience in using counters, plotting data in real time, curve fitting, etc. The problem arises when I have a dozen students and not so many g ...

This project used the Si470x FM radio receiver and an ardurino to make an over the counter kitchen radio. These parts had been purchased for a different build that unfortunately met a premature end. The concept for this project is simple. Play my favorite news and music radio stations while having a form factor that does not take up space on the kitchen counter. I have a small push button that toggles betwe ...
