HI everyone m preparing a science project n i found this really cool metronome circuit http://www.aaroncake.net/circuits/LED_Metronome_Circuit.asp
m very much interested in making this but i need help...
so if ny 1 out there can just breifly explain the basic principle of this circuit ill b really thankfull..
please help asap
i need to make it urgent just have 10 days for it
My email:loveorleave_ur@yahoo.com
(Edit...Move to Light/LASER)

Google "7 segment display driver". |

This thread talks about a metronome. You have hi-jacked this thread instead of starting your own thread about a display. |

Hi Aaron, I'm Leo!
Would like to get some hints on how to send the information to a 7-segment Display. We're having a hard time trying to figure this out, we even thought of using an ADC.
I'm a student of electronics, so please don't mind the ignorance! |

There is another site in India with projects that are at least 40 years old and using parts that were obsolete and no longer available many years ago. Most of the circuits have serious errors and do not work. |

This is a small note to mrbains the site that you have have mentioned is an absolutely a site to waste our money THIS IS A NOTE TO EVERYONE PLEASE BE CAREFUL BEFORE YOU TAKE A CIRCUIT FROM ANY OF THE SITES GIVEN BELOW
electronics for you
circuits today
electronics maker etc.
I am saying all this because I have experience doing a night light circuit from circuits today.The result i got was a blown mains fuse and leds on fire.I am saying this because all the above are Indian sites never to be trusted.Even though I am an Indian never trust any of the given above sites.So after all care is better than cure |

C2 is shown as 22uf to make knock sounds. If it is only 0.22uF then when the volume control is turned up the speaker would make tick sounds.
The capacitor from pin 5 to ground is not needed for the metronome. |

Look up its datasheet in Google or in www.datasheetarchive.com to see which capacitor value will make suitable frequencies when used with the resistor values in that circuit. Maybe 0.47uf to 2.2uF will work.
It won't sound like a metronome. It just clicks. A metronome has a resonant sound like a block of wood being ringed.
what about c2?
is it 22uF or .22uF.....?
N what bout pin5 its missing

i hus found another metronome circuit without LEDs
http://www.circuitstoday.com/metronome-generator-circuit
it is more simpler here c1 is marked as 16V
wat would b its capacitance???IN Farads..
*this could be a stupid ques. but m jus tryin to learn...

1) One microcontroller
2) 10 LEDs
3) 4 AA batteries
4) Small Speaker
5) A computer to write the code with, program the micro and a brain to figure out how to do it.
That's right, no resistors!
Note:
A Quartz watch crystal and two 15pF caps may be needed if the designer prefers high clock accuracy.

i need some details regarding the working of the circuit not outlines of this project.......
like how do i make a report about this project i just cant say it a METRONOME........
Plz help.....
Simply learn about what its parts do:
A few resistors, capacitors and diodes.
Ten LEDs.
Two 2N3904 transistors.
555 timer IC.
4029 Cmos up/down counter IC.
4051 Cmos 1-of-8 switch IC.
4011 Cmos quad 2-input NAND gate IC.

It is adjustable from about 40 BPM to just over 200 BPM.
Hey thnx 4 replyin n i really appreciate ur concern but actually i need some details regarding the working of the circuit not outlines of this project.......

Like most projects on this site this one is also missing a very important supply bypass capacitor.
The old high current 555 creates a 400mA supply current spike which messes up the Cmos counter unless 100uF and 0.1uF supply bypass capacitors are used.
A Cmos 555 could be used since it does not create a supply current spike. |
