Tone decoder debug

Jan 01, 2012 2 Replies

I have been trying to get this circuit to work all morning. The LED's are supposed to turn on when a 19.2KHz tone appears on the LM567's input.



Here is the circuit. Originally downloaded off the net (identical from



2 sources) but I re-drew it in DipTrace to send here for clarity. Click the image to enlarge.

Any suggestions where the problem might be? ... apart from me that is.

Thanks for the advice everyone. I changed C1 to a 472 and put a 50K pot in series with R1 as a "sensitivity" control. All is good. now.

Happy New Year,

Ralph

Happy New Year indeed!

Thanks to Rich too, for breadboarding it.
