In about four hours, part two will be uploaded. This time with automatic gain control in addition to the push buttons. I couldn’t stop working on it! And now I can’t sleep.
My main problem was using an op amp that doesn’t go to the rail but then I used a reference voltage that tried to centre it halfway to the rail so I was biased too far and then it looks a little weird but I was only looking at overall gain and it didn’t matter if the two signals were shifted away from each other‘s center. I need to organize my parts so I can find things immediately when I need them. These were the first op amps that appeared when I was looking.
@@GadgetReboot You are way beyond me when it comes to the tech matters. My notes on the subject say that TL2272's is a bit better than the LT272's. Something like a TL082 is very fast. Due to the manufacturing process, it is nearly impossible to find an op-amp that is symmetrical rail-to-rail. That 8-pin dual package is seems HIGHLY standard though. Looks like the NE5532P is popular with the audio community. Do you want my code for quick-reading an ATmega328pu? (below) analogeRead() is slow, you know.

Yeah I’m usually happy if I can get within 0.5 V to the VCC rail but only getting 3.5 out of 5 V is usually annoying. Thanks for the code. I’ve known that analog read function is slow but I haven’t needed too much from it until recently so I need to learn more.
I demonstrated one use in another video where I used the digital pot for auto gain control so the system can automatically scale an input signal. th-cam.com/video/4DrT7xwifB0/w-d-xo.html Another use would be for remote controlling if the circuit is somewhere else or is otherwise inaccessible but the controller can be accessed somehow and commanded to change the pot maybe over a network or other remote Console.
do you have a circuit schematic for how you actually connected the digital pot to the arduino i understand the code and everything but the sketch wasnt clear,goood video by the way
I scrapped some pin numbers on the white board schematic screen capture just now and put it on Github. github.com/GadgetReboot/Arduino/tree/master/Uno/X9C_OpAmp_Gain_Control
Nice video, I just bought a X9C103S to do this with an external oscillator and timer to quickly test parameters, prefect timing
Make sure to measure the resistance and make sure it’s really what the label says because my 103 is actually 104 value.
That is pretty slick!

@@GadgetReboot I had been wondering if these programmable resistors would exhibit symmetric loads with a small AC signal. Guess so!

Useful video 👍 Excellent 👍
really nice video, but what advantages does digital control have on analog systems?
I demonstrated one use in another video where I used the digital pot for auto gain control so the system can automatically scale an input signal.

Possible for add rtc for schedule digital potentiometer

Digital potentiometer + 555 timer = PWM?
Digital pot + 555 = sound effect generator th-cam.com/video/oFtGOOA25tA/w-d-xo.html
@@GadgetReboot Groovy!
