AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the difficulty of sourcing the UM3561 siren sound generator for a circuit project. Users have shared a potential supplier, Kelvin, which offers the component but requires a $20 minimum order, posing a challenge for those needing only the UM3561. There is also mention of unsuccessful searches on findchips.com for alternatives. Participants suggest collaborating with other students to meet the minimum order requirement. Overall, the search for a substitute or reliable source for the UM3561 continues.

Hey guys I am trying to build the circuit from the following link, but I have been unable to find the three siren sound generator UM3561 and I was wondering whether anyone knew of where i could purchase one or what substitute i could use. I have searched all over the internet with no luck.

Thanks

I found this on a front page of a Google search, don't know how reliable the site is though:

I saw them but there is one problem, they require a $20 minimum order but don't carry anything else I need for the project, but maybe i will call them and see what they say. Thanks
 
Hmmm. No match at findchips.com either. Hopefully the kelvin site works for you. Are there any other students building this project? Maybe you can all pool your order.
 
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...
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...
I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
