CD4511 7 Segment Decoder Driver IC and how to use it
fantastic im going to build this for counting how many parts i throw in a parts bin with a microswitch in the chute to send the pulse
Can anyone help me with interfacing 12 bit ADC with arduino that supports parallel communication ? I am having my project submission next week 😢
Very helpful tutorial, thanks Simon
Thank you for sharing this with us.
Please don't say that voltage passes through a resistor.... voltage is the potential difference at the leads it does not flow.
Bose uses typical speakers and uses software magic to get "great" sound. I'm curious if you feel that you've lost some quality due to that? *It's totally okay if you don't notice. IE The Bose speakers themselves were never the cool part.
Seems like no difference.
❤
Please explain why you have connected 4033 pins directly to the seven-segment display without any resistors, so no brightness control and safety.
The 4033 limits the current, saves on using all those resistors.
Can I use MCP3208 to make a 12 bit analog to digital converter with 12 LED that corresponds each bit? I also need to connect a turbidity sensor that will go through the supposed MCP3208 ADC before going to arduino
Very Helpful thankyou ( now i know what floating pin means ) and a lot lot more
filtering before mosfet, does it not defeat the purpose of operating fet a fast switch? this makes a variable resistor from the mosfet, not really a PWM
Exactly my thoughts, unfortunately I came to this video because I don't know what I'm doing, but to me applying a DC voltage to a power transistor doesn't make sense. I thought they're only supposed to be operated in fully on/fully off for maximum efficiency.
I'm getting static with my audio. What could that be?
If I have a 12v relay using drawing 80ma and still works down to 6.5v (drawing 46ma) , what values of resistors & cap would you suggest in your circuit ?, Also how would you handle the transistor base voltage at 12v ?
You should only need to change R1 value. Probably a value around 150 ohms would work.
If 150 does not work, try slightly lower value around 120 ohms.
😉
Gracias por la clase !
Ive got the same one I can’t seem to start it up do I need to start it up with the remote
I know this is an old video but it really helped me out. I'm now shopping for a Bluetooth stereo amp board (looking at the AP50L) to fix my old dock. Thanks so much for sharing this.
nice build, could you please explain why you use these specific capacitors?
These are specified in the documentation for the LD33V voltage regulator.
Simon, this is absolutely brilliant and explains the CD4033 (and CD4026) completely. Thanks for making it.
You are welcome
the serial monitor display stops refreshing once I do anything with the rotary encoder. Im in india so my intial frequency is 98.3 I'm not getting any audio other than the buzzing even when at initial frequency
GOOD explanation! Short but not TOO short. Clears it all out for me! #ThumbsUp
Hi I have sounddock series 2 and recently noticed that it remains stuck in green light upon powered on but won't play any music ( via the aux in Bluetooth receiver) & no bleep/bloop sound too. I leave the speaker on for few minutes and then power if off & on. After that I hear the bleep/bloop sound and speaker plays music ok. What could be the issue? I like your mod but will the remote and dock board volume buttons work after the replacement?
Good information = thank you. The application that I am researching is to control exhaust fans to remove compressor heat from the cabinet that will house a 12VDC refrigerator in a camper. The ACS724 will monitor the current driving the refrigerator compressor. The Arduino will turn on a buffer transistor that will drive the coil on a 12VDC relay to turn on the fans. We will be using 12VDC computer fans. An Arduino R3/328P has 20mA available, per pin, so the transistor may not be necessary. However, it would serve as a good buffer, regardless. Maybe a MOSFET would be better. Or, maybe a triac and skip the relay. Lots to consider. Your thoughts? The new R4 has more bits of resolution (I forget the exact number,) but it can only source 8mA from a single pin.
nice
Thanks for your interesting video! Will try to rebuild it. Greetings from 🇨🇭, Bo
How to make it start from 1 instead of 0? 1-999
Use a CD 4510 IC which can be preset.
Use a black cloth to cover the zero
Amigo , mine is just like yours , the green light comes on but no sound , I use a wire to attach to my iPhone 8 Plus, Could I send you my unit and make it work like yours? I’m in Cozumel Mexico !!! Please I need help here those speakers are so expensive
Couldn't one just use a zener diode to open a normally closed relay, and in that way cut the power to a circuit when the input reaches the limit of the zener?
Unknown, I’d have to see the circuit you are proposing.
hi simon, Im just trying to make a high current 3 phase esc. Im here to learn something from you. first I need to know how to drive mosfets with limited current output. Im using an arduino and its pwm current output is limited 40 ma. So I cant work directly with high current mosfets. so I tried to drive them with the help of small transistors. But my pwm is fading. Im stuck. would you please help me about it ?
Look up mosfet driver I.c, it’s on the Internet. ThIs is what you need to use for your situation. These chips are designed to work with low current microcontrollers and high current mosfets.
Hi excellent video . I am using a logitech bluetooth adapter with series 2 and 3 also sounds excellent . But I want to connect a active subwoofer to series 3 I want a sub out from this small speaker . If you can made a video on this that would be great . Thanks
Hi. Why we don't use resistors between the 4543 outputs and the display segments in this circuit. I also studied this system myself and noticed that it seemed to introduce this resistance itself, because adding resistors by me did not limit the current.
It seems like this chip will work without resistors
Quite a few of these '4' series display driver chips limit the output current so you do not need resistors - but be careful as they often do. Best to build your prototype on the bread board with them in! Remember if you short a pin on the chip somewhere to the power supply (I have done this many a time) you could be feeding the power supply current directly to the 7 segment display and you will very quickly destroy it! Been there, done that and blamed faulty displays in the first instance!
Is the IC MCP3208 really good when we use it to measure AC? Or we should use another IC.
I used this one because it is pretty good for the job and it is a through hole component, so easy to breadboard and solder with.
Thank you do you for am I am breakfast mu Cat is bread
Exactly what I wanted to know. Thanks Senior.
Firstly, congratulations on producing a very clearly photographed and explained video with absolutely no verbal bloat. I instantly understood the circuit diagram without listening to your explanation and the design is very elegant. I was searching for an over voltage protection circuit for an Arduino based instrument that I am developing and I need to protect one of the analog pins from exceeding 5 volts. This circuit does not quite fit the bill as I need something that automatically resets itself when the voltage drops back under 5 volts. I intend to adapt your circuit to use a LM431 Adjustable Precision Zener Shunt Regulator in place of the MAC97A4 triac. So many thanks for publishing this circuit. I have subscribed.
Sir. Could you please explain 3 digit circuit of common anod 7 segment display like this one?
Hi Abhinav, you can use either the 7447 or cd4543 chips to drive a common anode display. The problem with these is they don’t have a carry out pin, so you need to add gates that detect when you have reached a count of ten. I haven’t seen a chip the drives common anode with a carry pin. Another option is to add inverters to the output of a chip for common cathode type display, this will work. Otherwise you need to use a microprocessor to control displays with no carry pin. Why not just use common cathode displays? They are cheap as dirt.
Nice and clear explanation!
Would it suffice to just use analogWrite to change the pwm duty cycle?
Yes you can use the default PWM values of 255 or 1024 steps, if you do that you won’t have super fine control but if you don’t need it then you can just use for example analogWrite(128) for 50% duty cycle. If you do that you won’t need the whole block of code at the start that sets up the compare registers etc.
Great video! I saw you recommended Drok 200336. Did you install it & if you did where did you get the power? Thank You
Yes I installed the dork. To see how I powered it go to the link below the video that goes to the Instructable.
I have scoured the TH-cam for a clear explanation on this chip for 6 years and there you are at long last!!! Thank you so much for sharing this.
What Push button is that.. I tried with 4pin push button but it didn't work Can u send me the link or smthgelse regarding this push button Am too much confused here
This is just a normally open bush button switch, any two pin type will do.
Great video!, What if i used mac97a6 ? It still work isn't it?
I believe it will work.
Thank you so much for sharing this! I ordered the little amp from DROC and the rest was easy thanks to your video. The little Sound Dock is sounding better than ever in the background as I'm typing. Big thumbs up from Australia :)
how would you connect a second display for a 2 digit scoreboard?
You would need to use a microcontroller. If you want to keep it simple without a microcontroller, see my instructable on making a coin counter, this uses a different kind of counter IC and 7-segment decoder to display on 3 displays at once.
Cool. Under the tray those are T8 torx btw. Mine was only playing at full blast. Had to take the - and + buttons out and clean them. crud just got in there over time and they wouldn't bounce back. The little switches under them are old too, but it's usable again for now. I still have 2 working iPods with that interface but are not blue tooth, so this thing needs to last. 😃
Thank you for this vidéo
Nice Video, I am using ESP32 which works at 3.3v, I need to control Co2 Laser power which can be controlled using potentiometer powerd by 5v. Will this work for me where in I send PWM signal from ESP32 to the Gate and create variable resistance between Drain and Source (As this is control signal power draw would be small).
Not sure, this uses logic level FET, I.e 5v is a 1. Probably will still work, or you could supply a separate voltage to the FET gate via a voltage converter.
Where did you buy this board? share the link 🙋🏻♂️
Amazon. The link is in the instructable.

This circuit is susceptible to the non-linear transfer characteristic of the MOSFET. Since the gate threshold (the voltage required before the MOSFET starts to turn on) varies from sample to sample, the circuit is not reproducible without finding the initial offset by trial and error. Secondly, the relationship between the gate voltage and the drain current is essentially quadratic, not linear, when the MOSFET has a drain voltage significantly greater than the gate threshold voltage, as is the case here. That means that the output current rises more quickly at higher currents for the same amount of button press. However, if you require a steady dc current output, this is the simplest way to do it. The alternative is to pass the pwm signal to the MOSFET without filtering, i.e. remove the 100μF capacitor, but leave the other resistors in place. Now the MOSFET will be either on or off at the same frequency as the signal from the Arduino and with the duty cycle of the pwm. That means the power dissipated in the MOSFET is near to zero and it can handle greater loads. The average drain current will now be directly proportional to the duty cycle of the pwm and will provide a linear relationship between button press and output current with no offset, regardless of the individual logic level MOSFET used. However, the current through the load will be in pulses at 1.95KHz and not every application will cope with that. Nevertheless for controlling lights or motors, etc. it will be satisfactory. Remember, though, to use a reverse-biased diode between drain and positive supply when driving inductive loads to suppress the back emf each time the MOSFET switches off.
I was wondering about being able to drive the MOSFET directly with the PWM signal. Thank you for this reply. I have an application where I'm going to be using a similar circuit to drive a heating element (digikey part number: 1568-1797-ND). I'll definitely remember the reverse bias diode since I will be driving an inductive load. I'm a little hazy on whether or not I need the resistors. I don't think I'll need to scale the Arduino's output level, but I thought there was a requirement on sourcing/controlling the current into the Gate. Thanks again for both the video and the reply!
@@pbandjmaniac The problem with driving power MOSFETs is that they have a significant gate capacitance and it will draw current briefly from the Arduino when the output changes. Since the Arduino can be damaged by currents of more than 40mA, it's a good idea to have a resistor between the Arduino and the MOSFET. The 1K resistor shown will certainly limit the maximum current to less than 5V/1K = 5mA, which is fine. Since the gate capacitance of the IRL540 is specified as typically 2.2nF, the combination of 1K and 2.2nF will form a low-pass filter with a roll-off at about 70KHz, which means that it will have no effect on the pwm signal at 2KHz. The 10K resistor is a safeguard to ensure the MOSFET is turned off if the Arduino is disconnected from it (they may be on separate power supplies with a common ground). Since the MOSFET is a "logic-level" type, it will have a gate threshold voltage somewhere between a logic 0 and a logic 1 (so usually around 0.5V to 2V), so there's no need to scale it as the high level output from the Arduino will be certain to turn it on fully. Hope that helps.
@@RexxSchneider Makes sense. It's been a while since I've had to design an analog circuit. its always good to refresh on the best practices. Thank you again for helping out. I guess this means not ALL youtube comments are evil and toxic :P
Sounds more like a fart than a Moog synth.
