Sallen Key Low Pass Filter, bandpass filter

[Maglatron]

to 15k? or lower,? thanks, what would you recommend?

 

[Maglatron]

?? please can you recommend a resistor to use I'm going to get cracking

 

[Maglatron]

which ones are the coupling capacitors,? the ones in the filters that where wrong by uf and nf?

 

[Maglatron]

I'm going to go and read back through the thread, see if I can find answers

 

[Maglatron]

I can't find the post that told me that the value of the cap was wrong in the sim where you helped fix the design!

That would be so much easier if you wouldn't put each sentence in a post of its own ...

 

[Maglatron]

Hello,

Yes, the (-) goes to the GND and the (+) goes to the MIC.

okay sorry for that! going through it now and im on page 12

 

[bertus]

hello,

have a look at post #625 where i changed the capacitor value.

bertus

 

[Maglatron]

okay found it so now that that is changed to 10uF what should R23 be please? thanks!

 

[kellys_eye]

Got any part of this built and working yet?

700+ posts in this thread............

I made a start I soldered the bar graph leds on but nothing else yet! kinda got side tracked with another project! I'm back to this now though! thanks!

 

[Maglatron]

so I have finnished reading the entire thead, I made a start I soldered the bar graph leds on but nothing else yet! kinda got side tracked with another project! I'm back to this now though! thanks! as you can see the 45Hz image uses a 15k resistor for R23 and the 7000Hz uses 820k I want the resistor to be the same value which value would you choose? thanks also can't get the envelope detector working again?
7000Hz

7000Hz



45Hz

 

[Maglatron]

look and see! if you can find fault! thanks

 

[Maglatron]

the filters are working in a fashion but don't produce much voltage change (less than 0.1 of a volt0 from what I understand they need to vary by 2.4volts! need some adjustments can you fix it ??

 

[Maglatron]

Mr Bertus maybe? you were good with this last time! I have refreshed myself with the details today but a little stuck, thanks last time you also changed the R12 from 42.2r to 42.2k aswell and I remember that making it work better!

Didn’t you take notes (written)?.
Bad move.
This is not a telephone conversation with forum members.
Read the thread again! All the information is there.
If Mr Bertus remembers, I’m sure he’ll reply, but if not, it’s up to you to find that information that has also been told to you more than twice.

 

[Maglatron]

ok getting somewhere

Hello,

When pin 8 is gounded the reference voltage will be about 1.25 Volts.
When pin8 is lifted with a resistor, the reference voltage will be higher.
Have a look at the formulas again.

Bertus

Hello,

Why do you want such high values?
Audio is not so high.
The 2.4 volts range is already quite high.
You might even need an amplifier between the filter and rectifier.

Bertus

Hello,

In stead of making a complete series of filters twice, you could add a simple amplifier between the filter and rectifier circuit:

That would save you a lot of work.

Bertus

Hello,

Now you have R13 at 4K7 and R23 at 165K.
Change that to R13 at 27K and R23 to 1Meg and see what happens with 45 Hz and 7000 Hz.
With those values C14 will have a factor of 6 less influence on the frequency dependend gain.

Bertus

I changed the R23 resistor to 1meg and on the 7000Hz circuit the signal reaches 8.7v at the top and 6 at the bottom so this is good, now waiting for the program to run and I will screen shot it and do the same for the 45Hz one too!
running the 45Hz now... and it reaches similar voltages!!!

 

[Maglatron]

yes I took notes when reading it back through it on paper and I'm getting there it was a couple of months back will remember to take notes in future!!! thanks

[Maglatron]

looks complete now with a couple of adjustments to get it in the 2.4volt range with trial and error on the R23 resistor and I'll crack on!! thanks everyone!! seems to be 0.8meg!

There's 'bugger all' to the basic design of the filter section that couldn't be actually, physically constructed (on protoboard or hardwired) with sockets for the relevant resistor/capacitor values and you could play to your hearts content until you found something that worked.

How about building ONE channel that actually works?

It would be a damned sight quicker than a 700+ post regime and save some members time too.

It would also be nice for those who have taken the time and effort to assist in this thread to see something PRACTICAL from all their input. A few displays on some board doesn't cut it.

And if you haven't got a grasp of it by now then you need to reconsider your approach.
