propeller said:Hey guys I am having trouble understanding this circuit. Can someone help me get through it, and explain to me what the signal is doing form start to end please?
propeller said:right.. I am working on this memoir and don't know where to put my head anymore, sorry about that. I am working on a memoir in which I am talking about the Drum Machine! So i did all the history, the protagonist brands on the market today, and i thought it will be a good idea to build my own drum machine. looked on the internet for some ideas and found the Bleep Drum by Dr. Bleep. Great! so i bought one, built one with the easy instructions they have on there website, but i really want to explain in my memoire how everything works. So this diagram was downloaded straight from his website, and I let myself wrote what i knew, what i didnt...etc
Here is a list of the bleep drum's components: 1x Cicruit imprimé sur carte
1x Arduino Atmega328P chip
1x MCP4901 IC chip
1x Prise DIP 28 broches
1x Prise DIP 8 broches
1x Resonator de 16MHz
1x Transistor 78I05
2x Potentiometre 10K
4x Boutons 12mm Bleu, Rouge, Jaune et Vert
4x Boutons 6mm noir
1x Capacitor 10uF
2x capacitor 220uF
5x Resistor 1k
1x RGB LED
1x Jack stéréo (1/8)
1x interupteur SPDT
1x Batterie 9V

propeller said:What is a datasheet exactly? Do you mean the legend for the symbols?
When you write about components in a schematic, it's good practice to remember to include their names, i.e. 'R1', 'C1' etc.propeller said:what I am understanding here is that the programmed code is the source of the sounds produced by the tactiles? so the resistors are used here more as regulators, whereas the two capacitor modifies the pitch and adds distortion (two codes included in the micro chip), tactiles would be switches, each letting the signal to interract with the sound connected to them
A circuit diagram is a graphical representation of an electrical circuit, showing the connections and components that make up the circuit. It uses standardized symbols to represent different electrical components and their connections, making it easier to understand and analyze the circuit.
Circuit diagrams are important because they allow us to visualize and understand how an electrical circuit works. They also help in troubleshooting and designing new circuits, as well as communicating ideas and information about the circuit to others.
To read a circuit diagram, start by identifying the power source, usually represented by a battery symbol. Next, trace the path of the circuit, following the lines and symbols to see how the components are connected. Pay attention to the direction of the arrows, as they indicate the flow of current. Refer to a legend or key to understand the meaning of each symbol.
Some of the most common symbols used in circuit diagrams include a battery, resistor, capacitor, diode, transistor, and switch. There are also symbols for different types of wires, such as a straight line for a conductor and a zigzag line for a resistor. A legend or key should be used to identify all the symbols used in a specific diagram.
To create a circuit diagram, you can use specialized software or online tools that have built-in symbols and templates. Alternatively, you can draw your circuit diagram by hand, using a pencil and paper or a drawing program. Make sure to use standardized symbols and label all components and connections clearly for easy understanding.
