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 '3-terminal device external modeling'

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...

Thread 'Question about the voltage between two charged capacitors'

suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
