Arduino Alpha II DubWorks

Arduino Alpha II DubWorks

Part of my research into the Arduino and sound generation and effects
Some ideas taken out of A.P.C.

More to come soon (details and code) ...

DIY KITS - Soon come

After already having both delays PCB's done professionally, i'm in the final stages of also have both versions of the Dub siren PCB's done professionally ... as well !!
Yes I- Things are happening, and all those willing to venture building a DUB SIREN yourselves, ill be having a limited run ( just a feeler, for now) which will include all components, PCB professionally done in top quality, building instructions/tutorial; all referenced properly, including the components in the PCB, so theres no confusion.
No need to have any previous knowledge- All you need is a steady hand to solder it (all properly DIP/through hole components! NO surface mount "ROBOT SUITABLE" kind of components here lol).
 Will take a month, or so, untill all is ready( will take at least 4 weeks to have this first initial few hundreds of unities to start, as all had to be done from scratch, including design in CAD, etc)
So, GIVE THANKS FOR ALL THOSE THAT BEEN FLOODING ME WITH ORDERS, as they making it happen

SOFTWARE REAL TIME CLOCK

As my dad asked me to make him an LCD CLOCK for his camper van ( and later add more sensors like temperature, GPS, etc), i decided to develop a SOFTWARE REAL TIME CLOCK...At least for now, untill i get a RTC chip ( that will keep the time).
Quite a simple project, anyway, using the GNU library swRTC.h !
Supported chips are :Atmega640/1280/1281/2560/2561 and Arduino MEGA boards
Atmega48/88/168/328 and Arduino 2009/UNO boards
Attiny24/44/84
Attiny25/45/85
Attiny2313
Atmega644/1284 and Sanguino boards
Supported clocks are 1/8/16 MHz.
 Ill be posting the code and schematics soon

After realizing that Arduino has spread all around, despite the fact that i am a PIC man myself, but still i decided to give it a go, and start working on implement it with some of the projects i normally build. 
So intention is to develop a way of introducing an LCD, and interface control with the Arduino, and if not enough with the Atmel itself...
Intention is to have a nice graphic display of volume, specific relevant controls, etc, all through it...
So we wuld end up with an analog siren with top notch digital complements that would make them a few steps further in quality and number of sounds and features that a siren ( with or without delay) can offer...
All to make soundsystems, and DJ's armed with up-to-date sound gear.
Gonna take a while to develop the code, experiment etc, but im sure ill love it all the way !!
BOOOM !!!

PS-also seriously thinking of making DIY kits available soon, at least for some of the more basic builds, for those who want to build their own sirens, but dont have much knowledge to do it on their own...

So with nice tutorials, professional built PCB's, and the kit with necessary components, anyone with a steady hand and a bit of patient will be able to do it !!

If anyone has any ideas or opinions they would like to share in this field/question please let me know !!!

4 Pots, a momentary push button for triggering style, a toggle switch between permanent on siren and the push button.
two other switches with different capacitance, giving different oscillations.
Sounds like quick rising sirens are abound in this add on siren, that complements the other already shown

Testing it with the delay around the HT8972 IC ( cheap enough to have in a siren, at least if you want a budget thing).

New dub siren and basic "SIREN" delay ( around HT8972 Digital delay)

Some videos of the dubsiren i been working on. This was the first batch model, and still available.

My intention after researching all the models out there ( NJD, SE10, etc) was to build one that was the most versatile. So i ended with this model where instead of presets style( through a rotary switch), went with the free form style of dubsiren as it makes all the sounds the others do and many more.
PS- contact me if you want to know more details or even order one. !
