Any ADC is going to dither at a bit boundary because of noise. The normal solution is to put in a rolling average filter where you store successive readings in a buffer and average the number of samples in the buffer. Then kick the oldest reading out, add a new reading and averag

I don't see any jitter. Remember, your signal to noise ratio is only as good as your power supply. What kind of power supply are you using? What other modules are connected to it? What software are you running for this test? If you believe you have a problem, send your PSIM-1 bac

I'm using the standard MOTM power supply, a linear PowerOne HAA15-0.8-A with no other modules connected except the PSIM. I can measure very little noise on it. When using the Quantizer software, I can vary the control voltage very slightly and get it in a mode where the quantizin
2004-05-02 by djbrow54
How much jitter are you folks experiencing on IN-1 to IN-4? If you put a constant voltage source into the input and then sample the input, how much variation are you seeing in the 10 bit result? I'm seeing a fair amount and I don't know if it's noise in my system or there is that

Andrew, Right now, I'm up to my eyeballs in PSIM-1 modules and have not been dedicating any time to the add-on modules until I get all these shipped. However, my first thoughts were that both the MIDI add-on and the SpeakJet modules will both be 1U (1.5" wide... like the Blacet M
2004-04-29 by Andrew Scheidler
Hey Brice - What size will the PSIM MIDI add-on module be? I'm guessing it will be a 1/2 Blacet size, like the Blacet MULT module? And what about the SpeakJet module. Do you have a size determined for that as well? planning & scheming... Andrew

I've started to program my SpeakJet through my PSIM. I've uploaded photos of the completed module to the Photos section in the folder "DJB PSIM-1 (MOTM format)". I've also uploaded a couple of SpeakJet programs to the new Speakjet folder. One program passes data to the SpeakJet t

Hi All, It looks like the internal math processor on the Basic Atom Pro is 32 bits wide. According to Nathan, Longs and Floats process faster than words, byte, nibs or bits. The nice thing about floating point is you have the same bit resolution, no matter what decade you are in.

Hello everyone. I just wanted to let you all know (those of you who are waiting on their PSIM-1 modules) that production is in full-swing. All the issues that had delayed production (jacks/nuts, wrong parts shipped to me, etc.) have been resolved and I'm back on track. Thank you

Cool Idea! There are a lot of different light sources, and UV materials to work with, including "invisible" clear inks that can be painted onto knobs without effecting their white light visible colors. Here is a great Ultaviolet Resource for lights and materials http://www.wildfi

Royal Air Force fighter planes used UV visable instrument markings for night flying during WWII. If you shine a UV light on a Synthi or Putney, the knob pointer glow from the UV ink because they are military surplus knobs. The strange things your find out on tour. The UV visable

There is a patched release of PhrasAlator which fixed this problem. The postings are on the SpeakJet group messages. This fixed my problem. "John Olson" wrote: > I don't know if this will help you guys but I just uploaded a file > called "PA131_Tiger.exe". It is PhraseALator v1.3

What version of PhraseAlator are you running? How do you have the Mode select pins wired/switched? What baud rate are you using to communicate with the SpeakJet? It defaults to 9600 baud and sometimes... needs to be reset. For normal operation (see page 2 of the Operator's Manual

I posted this also on the Speakjet group. I'm having the exact same problem. I can talk to the speakjet in hyperterminal and can see the data with a scope on the RS-232 pin 3. In PhraseAlator I see no data. I had to install the MSCOMM32.OCX file in the \system32 and run REGSVR32.

Dave, Those are Windows programs to use the SpeakJet chip. Don't bother with the first two. The latest version 1.3 has a very nice dictionary built-in. You have to build a RS-232 interface to the SpeakJet chip. There are two schematics online for this if you want to experiment. I
