[neonixie-l] IN-13 Spectrum analyzer

2012-09-19 Thread Dan Foster
Hello everyone, I am thinking of selling a IN-13 spectrum analyzer, either fully assembled or in kit form. I've just ordered the preliminary boards to get the final prototype together, but it would be 7 bands with a 3.5mm jack input. 12v input from wall power, and possibly a mini USB port.

Ascending and descending orange glow tubes, why wouldn't it sell! I'd probably tinker with one...;-) Why only 7 channels? May I ask what frequency ranges you decided to sample? Nick On Wed, Sep 19, 2012 at 2:28 PM, Adam Jacobs a...@jacobs.us wrote: Pretty neat. As an audiophile toy, I suspect

It would be cool to make one with more channels for analyzing the quality of your amateur radio transmissions.. Something to think about for another day. :) My Swan 500c puts spurious emissions all over the place. I probably don't want to know what they look like. :S -Adam On 9/19/2012 2:31

As for why 7 channels, I found a little IC that breaks down audio into DC components (7 to be exact). I have found a fft that runs on AVR microcontrollers but am not sure of its accuracy or how quick it is. So for now I'm using the IC. I will definitely investigate the fft when I can. -- You

I'm assuming you're talking about the analyzer? The spectrum analyzer chip is MSGEQ7, which comes in DIP-8 and SOIC-8. You can find it on sparkfun in the DIP package, but the SOIC version is harder to find. I'll dig up the place where you can get it if you want. -- You received this message
