The first SUPERTEF version was using a 68HC11 microprocessor in extended mode i.e. with an external memory program which necessitated many integrated circuits (IC) such as the 74C138, 74C373, 68HC24 and 27C64 making the printed circuit board densely populated and prone to defects. Now, SUPERTEF 96 uses a 68HC711E9 that is to say the same basic chip but with an INTERNAL program memory operating in `mono-chip` mode without the need for all the IC's above. The coder then became ultra-simple and except for monstrous errors, cannot not function since all that is active is IN the microprocessor. The INTERNAL storage in question has a capacity of 12 Kbytes instead of the 27C64's 8 Kbytes. The program is more performant. Let us say that it was necessary all the same to add a small external memory storage to place the data for 27 possible models.

Figure 1 shows the diagram of the analog part of the coder. You see on the left the 4 amplifiers (U3) of the sticks' voltage (v1 to v4) with adjustment of the gains using P1 to P4 and the neutral fine adjustments, using P5 through P8. The outputs (0 to +5V) P0 to P2 are sent directly to the microprocessor. On the other hand, the auxilliaries (v5, v6 and v7), the trims (TR1 to TR4) and the gas channel (v4) are multiplexed by U1 and U2 in synchrony with the signal, before being transmitted to the microprocessor (PE3 to PE7). The circuit U3 should preferably be a LM660 from NS, with an output of 0 to +5V. Under these conditions, one can make VRL=0V and VRH=+5V, (they are the levels of reference of the A/D converter of the 68HC711) which is obtained with R12 = R13 =0. However the printed circuit makes it possible still to use a MC14573 with R12 = R13 = 47 ohms and the addition of R18. The amplifier U4A leads the tension of VARICAP of the frequency synthesized HF module and thus allows an alarm if the range of authorized variation is exceeded. The amplifier U4B formats the PPM signal by giving it the amplitude of 8V DC and the tilted sides necessary to obtain a correct HF spectrum figure. Fig. 2 illustrates the superb simplicity of the coder logic: U5 and... that is all! Port E is the 8-bit A/D converter of the microprocessor. Note that with 8 bits, it is possible to define 256 levels of precision. Knowing that a servo normally...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
