47.  <p class="">I’m quite proud of the above circuit. This is not because it is especially well designed, or that it is definitely the best way to do it. I like the circuit because it does what I want. I connect the phone handset to the left hand connection and the microphone to the right and I can speak into the handset and record the resulting audio on the Raspberry Pi. </p><p class="">The circuit contains a “potential divider” which is a posh name for two resistors wired in series. In the above case the two resistors are R1 (the 1K resistor) and the handset carbon microphone (which measures around 500 ohms or so). One of the magical features of electricity is that a voltage “spreads itself out” across the resistors in a circuit. If the handset microphone has a resistance of 500 ohms, we put it in series with a 1K resistor and we put 5 volts across the pair of them we find that the 5 volts is spread across this circuit in a manner proportional to the resistance values. Total resistance 1,500 ohms (1K + 500). The 1K resistor is two thirds of this total, so two thirds of the voltage goes across this resistor. The point where the 1K resistor and the handset microphone are connected should therefore be at a voltage of one third of 5 volts, the other two thirds having been dropped across the 1K resistor.</p><p class="">If this is confusing to you consider how, back in the day, we used to make Christmas tree lights using bulbs that were powered by 12 volts. You might think that putting a 12 volt bulb across the 240 volts mains supply would cause that bulb to explode. And you’d be right. But if we connect 20 of the bulbs in series, one after another, each bulb only drops a 20th of the 240 volt supply (12 volts), so all works well.  This is also horribly dangerous though. You might think that 12 volts is a safe voltage to work with, but in the case of mains powered Christmas tree lights people were regularly electrocuted. This is because a human being has a high resistance, much higher than a 12 volt light bulb. So, according to the laws of the potential divider, if I insert myself into the tree light circuit in place of a bulb, the fact that I have a much higher resistance than a bulb causes most of the 240 volts in the circuit to go into me. Ouch. Nowadays we don’t wire lights this way. A set of lights will contain a transformer which converts 240 volts into something much less tingly. </p><p class="">So, we have a potential divider which contains two resistors, the 1K one and the carbon microphone. Consider what happens when I speak into the microphone. The carbon granules vibrate and the resistance of the microphone changes. This changes the voltage at the point where the two resistors are connected. This change is an audio signal that represents the sound. The signal goes through a resistor (R2) to reduce its level a bit and then into a capacitor which only lets through the alternating current (the sound signal). This goes into the microphone and hay-presto, we have a sound signal. </p>

I’m presently trying to get speech input into my <a href="https://www.robmiles.com/journal/category/redphone">Red Telephone</a>. The phone has a carbon granule microphone which changes in resistance in response to sound. This won’t work with the microphone input in the phone. I could either build a circuit to make the carbon microphone work with a “normal” microphone input or I could find a different microphone to put in the phone. I decided to do both. Starting with microphone replacement.</p><p class="">I got the microphone above with a stereo system from way back. It helps the amplifier adjust itself to the acoustics of the room its working in. The stereo is long gone, but I kept the microphone because well, you never know when you might need one. It works fine with the USB audio input I’m using with the Pi and it even fits inside the handset of the phone. But there is a problem. The handset is connected to the phone using a lovely red curly cable. This cable is not screened at all because old phone cables don’t need screening. Unfortunately, microphone cables do. So although I got an audio signal from the microphone I also got an awful lot of hum caused by the cable picking up mains radiation from the devices in the house. Oh well, on to tomorrow.</p>]]></description></item><item><title>Making Spanners with ChatGPT</title><category>3D printing</category><category>Canon Dial 35</category><category>ChatGPT</category><dc:creator>Rob Miles</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 19 Apr 2024 14:59:00 +0000</pubDate><link>https://www.robmiles.com/journal/2024/4/19/making-spanners-with-chatgpt</link><guid isPermaLink="false">5019271be4b0807297e8f404:52c5bcfce4b0c4bcc9121347:662529c36ec75e1492153675</guid><description><![CDATA[<figure class="

273.  <p class="">As part of the fixing of the Canon Dial camera I needed a spanner to remove the dial spring winder. The spanner is a bit special because it needs to fit between the winder and the camera body. Ivan was kind enough to make me one out of brass, but it turned out to be a little bit too thick. So I thought I’d 3D print one. I’ve been impressed with how tough PETG prints have turned out, and the spanner doesn’t have to be particularly strong, so I was hopeful this might work. </p><p class="">And, since I’m lazy I thought I’d ask ChatGPT to produce the spanner design as a Python program I can run inside FreeCAD. I asked the question and out popped some Python. Which didn’t work. There then followed around fifteen minutes of me explaining why the supplied design was wrong, followed by ChatGPT then producing a differently wrong result along with an explanation of how it had fixed the faults that were still there. </p><p class="">Eventually I gave up and wrote the design in about five minutes or so. These things are very clever, but if they get it wrong it seems that sometimes it stays wrong whatever you do.</p>

The camera works quite well, although the clockwork winder does chug a little bit after a few frames. The light meter works perfectly for me - I just gave the terminals a bit of clean and off it went. The pictures are lovely and sharp. </p><p class="">The pictures are half the size of standard 35mm ones but this does mean I’ll get twice as many shots on each film. </p><p class="">And now I have to find a new obsession. </p>]]></description></item><item><title>Person Sensor Powered Paparazzi</title><category>pico</category><category>digital paparazzi</category><dc:creator>Rob Miles</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 14 Apr 2024 17:48:00 +0000</pubDate><link>https://www.robmiles.com/journal/2024/4/14/person-sensor-powered-paparazzi</link><guid isPermaLink="false">5019271be4b0807297e8f404:52c5bcfce4b0c4bcc9121347:66215d11e1ec331311cac493</guid><description><![CDATA[<p class="">I’ve found a use for my <a href="https://www.robmiles.com/journal/2024/4/8/20-camera-man" target="_blank">broken camera collection</a>. I’m going to create a “paparazzi machine” using a <a href="https://thepihut.com/products/person-sensor-by-useful-sensors">person sensor</a> from <a href="https://usefulsensors.com">Useful Sensors</a>. The person sensor is a tiny camera with a processor which you connect to your microcontroller using i2c. It tells the number and position of faces that it can see in the frame. </p><p class="">The plan is to take one of my slightly less broken cameras (one with working lens movement) and put it on a mount that lets it move towards a face and then trigger when it sees someone in front of the camera. I’m going to use a Raspberry Pi PICO to control it. Should be fun. </p>

907.  <p class="">I’ve found a third Canon Dial 35 on sale in the UK. This one comes with the promise of a working mechanism and a faulty meter. Much excitement has ensued. </p><p class="">And, I’ve worked out why I like the camera so much. Unlike most cameras, the dial has its viewfinder on the left when viewed from the front. This means that when you put the camera to your eye, you are using your left eye. Which is really good news for me as my right eye really doesn’t do much.</p><p class="">I’m now back to waiting for the postman. </p>]]></description></item><item><title>Filmburger</title><category>Photography</category><dc:creator>Rob Miles</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 12 Apr 2024 10:15:00 +0000</pubDate><link>https://www.robmiles.com/journal/2024/4/12/filmburger</link><guid isPermaLink="false">5019271be4b0807297e8f404:52c5bcfce4b0c4bcc9121347:6620f2d08e156b380167414e</guid><description><![CDATA[<figure class="

He is one of my <a href="https://www.robmiles.com/journal/2024/4/8/20-camera-man">20 cameras</a> and he shows quite a bit of promise. His shutter is a bit sticky, but only at the slower speeds that I hardly ever use. But the good news is that he looks excellent and everything else, including the light meter, works fine. And, as you can see above, the lens is very sharp</p>

1273.  <p class="">If you are lucky enough to live in Hull you really should visit the exhibition they have on a the moment. It’s made up of a bunch of enormous inflatable sculptures plus a great mural and some splendid individual pieces. The detail and the imagination is fantastic, as are the bright colours. If you’ve got kids you should take them too. Well worth the trip. And you can nip to the gallery café for a sausage sandwich (and the best chips in Hull - which is saying something). </p>]]></description></item><item><title>Adventures with a Changing Bag</title><category>minox</category><dc:creator>Rob Miles</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 09 Apr 2024 09:46:00 +0000</pubDate><link>https://www.robmiles.com/journal/2024/4/9/adventures-with-a-changing-bag</link><guid isPermaLink="false">5019271be4b0807297e8f404:52c5bcfce4b0c4bcc9121347:6620ec17462f3e06dfd57a5e</guid><description><![CDATA[<p class="">For the last few days I’ve been working on an article about using a Minox camera.  I’ve managed to prove two things conclusively:</p><ol data-rte-list="default"><li><p class="">You can 3D print a light tight cassette to hold Minox film.</p></li><li><p class="">You do need to put something in the light trap to stop light getting onto the film.</p></li></ol><p class="">This means I’ve been spending a while with my hands in a light-proof bag,  rolling up film and putting it into tiny cassettes.

I was alone in the house at the time and half-way through a rather tricky cassette load, so I had to walk to the door with my hands in the black bag, find the keys and then open it to reveal two people who asked me if I wanted them to save my soul. Or something. I replied politely that I’d settle for having the films in the dark bag saved and bade them farewell. </p><p class="">I’m kind of hoping they will go back to base with tales of a strange, wild-eyed man who lives at our address and answers the door with his hands in a large black bag.

Never one to give up (see Canon Dial 35) I’ve today returned to the fray. I’m using my secret weapon; this time I’ve made my own design for the lids. The one I was using turned out to have a hole too small for the winder so I’ve made a new lid and spool which fits. I’m printing at a much slower speed too. And this time the cartridges seem to have worked - at least I can get them off the build plate without them disintegrating. Next thing is to pop some film in one and see how it works in a camera.</p>]]></description></item><item><title>I seem to have bought 19 cameras...</title><category>Photography</category><category>Canon Dial 35</category><dc:creator>Rob Miles</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 05 Apr 2024 17:53:00 +0000</pubDate><link>https://www.robmiles.com/journal/2024/4/5/i-seem-to-have-bought-19-cameras</link><guid isPermaLink="false">5019271be4b0807297e8f404:52c5bcfce4b0c4bcc9121347:661d699356cf2365d854e800</guid><description><![CDATA[<figure class="

It turns out that it is best if your purchasers don’t know that the camera they are thinking of buying has been used to knock in tent pegs. </p><p class="">The camera doesn’t work. In fact it is actually one solid block of stuff. Nothing inside it moves. All the gears have rusted solid. It turns out that knocking in tent pegs might actually be a good use for it. So today, rather than question why I want one of these cameras, I’ve upped the anti a bit by ordering a lot of 19 broken cameras which include a Canon Dial 25 among their number. Most of them are plastic point and shoot devices of little interest but one or two of them might be gems.  We shall see. </p>]]></description></item><item><title>Carbonizing in HackSpace magazine</title><category>3D printing</category><category>Hackspace Magazine</category><dc:creator>Rob Miles</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 04 Apr 2024 17:45:00 +0000</pubDate><link>https://www.robmiles.com/journal/2024/4/4/carbonizing-in-hackspace-magazine</link><guid isPermaLink="false">5019271be4b0807297e8f404:52c5bcfce4b0c4bcc9121347:661d67badcf205732cffead9</guid><description><![CDATA[<figure class="

1631.  <p class="">We had our hardware meetup tonight at Hull MakerSpace. Plenty of folks turning up and building/programming robots. We are still working on the rules for Robot Rugby, but in the meantime folks spent today attaching battery packs so their robots could wander around with no wires. I’ve started writing a book which describes the process we are going through. You can find the first part <a href="https://www.hullpixelbot.com/book/Build%20a%20Hull%20Pixelbot.pdf">here</a>. I’m going to be adding sections as we build each part of the robot. </p>]]></description></item><item><title>This online Arduino Programming Tool is great</title><category>Arduino</category><category>HullPixelBot</category><dc:creator>Rob Miles</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 02 Apr 2024 16:22:00 +0000</pubDate><link>https://www.robmiles.com/journal/2024/4/2/this-online-arduino-programming-tool-is-great</link><guid isPermaLink="false">5019271be4b0807297e8f404:52c5bcfce4b0c4bcc9121347:661d545f6fdd0523f77b0f39</guid><description><![CDATA[<figure class="
