About Project14
 Directions

Every month you'll have a new poll where you'll get to decide an upcoming project competition, based on your interests, that will take place a couple of months in advance. Themes are broad in scope so that everyone can participate regardless of skill set.

 

What are Monthly Themes?

  • Every month (around the 14th of each month) a new theme will be posted on Project14.
  • Submit your ideas (proposals) for your projects to get feedback from the rest of the community.
  • Submit a project entry in the Theme space once you start working on it.

 

What are Monthly Theme Polls?

  • Every month (around the 14th of each month) there is a project theme poll.
  • Vote on which project competition you want to see for the following upcoming theme.
    • The themes voted on during the previous poll decided the upcoming theme.
    • If you submit an idea for a theme that is not used then it can still be used in a future poll.
  • Themes comments and ideas from the comments section of the project theme poll.

Step 1: Log in or register on element14, it's easy and free.

Step 2: Post in the comments section below to begin a discussion on your idea. Videos, pictures and text are all welcomed forms of submission.

Step 3: Submit a blog post of your progress on your project by the end of the month.  You are free to submit as many blog entries as you like until the beginning of the next theme.

 

Be sure to include video proof of your project!

 

Visit:  Op-Amp-a-Palooza  or tag your project blog opampsch

 

You have until April 27th End of Day to submit your completed project!

 

 


 

 

A jury consisting of your peers will judge project submissions!

  • One thing I have been wanting to do for a long time is to make a number of simple circuits that use opamps and that can be used when we talk about modulations at school. Eg:

    • a high frequency oscillator (even 1 MHz would be enough) to generate the carrier signal,
    • an AM modulator;
    • an FM modulator;
    • an ASK modulator;
    • an FSK modulator;
    • a PWM modulator.

    Having these simple circuits would be great for getting a better understanding of the concept of modulation.

  • I am even looking for MCP6007-E/MS and MCP6292-E/MS as well for building comb generator. I have comb generator as a requirement for my future projects 

  • I want to build a comb generator using ISL28291FBZ and test it for various types amplifier , attenuater and filter

  • I have an op-amp project in the works, actually it has been in the works for years, but it still isn't good enough for me.

    I have been designing electronic drum pads using piezo sensors. I have built several iterations of drum pad, signal conditioning circuit and software, but every time I make a system, I decide it needs to be better. Every time I sit down to design the next generation, I come up with a bunch of new ideas. Then I start collecting parts to build, then I sit down to do a more detailed design and often decide to completely change the design. I have built a few designs even though I have this never ending redesign cycle going on. One of the tricky areas for me is to capture the amplitude of the drum strike with low latency. I don't want a noticeable delay from when I strike to when the note gets played. Op-amps are used to condition the signal - get the amplitude to something appropriate for an A/D, do a sample-and-hold, and trigger an A/D sample. I have all the piezo sensors and a bunch of other stuff and it will eventually become a MIDI drum set.

    hmmmmm, maybe time for higher power polypropylene woofers in that cabinet ?
