F-licentie behaald, radio-amateur (HAM radio), nu nog call-sign bedenken

De F-licentie is behaald, paar weken geleden examen gedaan.
Met dank aan http://www.radio-examen.nl/ (Stichting radio examen) voor het organiseren.
Dit betekent dat ik nu officieel mag spelen met radio-zenders.

(uit wikipedia)
Met radioamateurs of zendamateurs (of in officiële terminologie radiozendamateurs) worden in brede zin personen bedoeld die zich voor hun hobby bezighouden met experimenteren op het gebied van het uitzenden en ontvangen van radio- en/of televisiesignalen. Hiervoor hebben zij de beschikking over een officiële zendvergunning. Deze zendvergunning wordt door de overheid toegekend na het slagen voor een officieel examen, waarbij, afhankelijk van het gewenste vergunningsniveau, het kennisniveau met betrekking tot radio-elektronica en regelgeving getoetst wordt.

Voor wie meer wil weten : VERON de Vereniging voor Experimenteel Radio Onderzoek Nederland

Update : mijn officiële registratie is nu PA2LVD (te onthouden als PA van 2 LieVe Dochters)

Denon DHT T100 DESIGNED TO FAIL : bad caps (ceramic caps this time)

A friend gave me a Denon DHT-T100 to look at. Do not spend much time on it.. ok. It had a problem, it started clicking and ticking after power on, and after some time. (a so called intermittent problem) Sometimes it did not tick or click, but it was basically not usable. The clicking had a sharp click in one channel and repeated after about a second, then sound recovered and it would click and drop out again. He told me, do not spend any time on it, yeah, right. ;-) like I would give up after 15 minutes. I wanted to know what was going on with this thing, I found some schematic online and started measuring the usual things. The power supply, 24V did it drop down when a tick occurred ? Difficult to find out because sometimes the thing would play for hours without a glitch. I eventually found out the 24 V PSU, the step down SMPS on board and the LDO's were all ok, all power rails remained within spec, but it still glitched sometimes. (while power was ok) I investigat

Fixed voltage on cheap buck converter (MP1584) conversion with single 0805 resistor

Everywhere I look on the Ali and Ebays I see these step down converters based on MP1584. I bought a couple and actually they are not bad at all. The output voltage is set by the trimming-resistor in the left top corner of the picture. This works OK, but.. it is dangerous because it is rather sensitive to the touch. I decided that I wanted fixed output, so I had to figure out how this thing worked. The datasheet looks like this : R1 in the datasheet is what I call "R feedback" in my image. The value of R2 is mostly 8.2K Ohm in the boards I have seen.  So to set some common values for output voltage: change R1 to 27K for 3V3 output (actually 3.4 volt, but 27K is a standard value) or change R1 to 43K0 for 5.0 Volt output. (43 K is a standard value) A standard 0805 size resistor fits precisely, how convenient ;-). Make sure the other resistor is really 8.2K because that determines the feedback ratio. This way you can not burn up your circ

DPS5005 power supply, remote control using python serial port modbus

Just a short one. I bought one of these things. It can do 50 volt 5 Amp, I have not looked at the quality of the output (noise, overshoot all unknown to me)  but should be alright to control a lamp, a battery or a strip of LED's is my guess. You can easily control the current and voltage output using a serial port. (a usb-serial-rs485 was provided) I seems to talk modbus protocol. To change the baud rate and modbus-slave-address, keep POWER button pressed during power on, this will enter you into the configuration menu. register list here : Register Map for this device.
