  • LM386 Square-wave Oscillator

    Here’s a small LM386-based square-wave oscillator built from the following schematic. I replaced the 30k resistor with a 50k Potentiometer from my stash of parts which then, of course, acts as a pitch controller. The following audio is some track recordings made in Ableton 8.0 with a little filter on one track and some reverb…

  • No. 5 speaks.

    and what a lovely voice it is. even through a Crate speaker (i’m saving the better speakers for when the testing phase is over). overall, i’d say a success for cheap transformers, Radio Shack parts, and a few pieces taken from a busted computer power supply. audio notes: it was late, and i was annoying…

  • No. 5 come alive!

    like Dr. Frankenstein, it’s about time to bring this little fellow to life… or at least try. the schematic i have is a random luck of the draw internet find, and i have no idea whether or not it will work. however, testing will occur on the work bench soon enough to determine what needs…

  • Typical Alkaline Battery Ratings

    Also posted on the 8088 Networks site. I was using this to create a small external power supply for my Yeasu VX-3R. I used a 9v battery initially and realized that I should use a voltage drop to improve the battery life. Without any sort of voltage drop, the battery was dead in a little…
