AI Thread Summary
A user is developing a touch-screen intercom system using a Raspberry Pi to send signals to one of eight rooms. The goal is to allow users to select individual rooms or broadcast to all simultaneously, utilizing a LE-D Airphone intercom substation. The Raspberry Pi will amplify a microphone signal and output it through a 3.5mm jack to a splitter. Suggestions include using GPIO pins for signal transmission and considering digital-to-analog (DtoA) or analog-to-digital (AtoD) conversion for amplification. The discussion focuses on potential devices and methods for achieving this audio routing.

Hello,

I'm needing to send an intercom signal from a lobby to one of eight different rooms. I am creating a touch-screen interface with a Raspberry Pi under the hood that acts as an intercom. The user needs to be able to select any room they wish to speak to (even all of them at the same time). The receiving end is a LE-D Airphone intercom substation:

I'm going to use the Raspberry Pi to accept and amplify a microphone signal before sending the signal out through the 3.5mm output port to a splitter of some sort.

Are there any devices I can make or buy that would do this?

Could you use the GPIO pins on the Pi to send out your signals?
You could either to DtoA on the pi and then amplify the signals to the rooms or run the pins to an AtoD chip and then do the amplification.
 

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'

Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
