Creating an automatic control for mains heating for the house is the objective of the project which uses a PIC-controlled time switch that gets its time updated trough the DCF77 radio signal.
The project is designed around dimensions where a LM3886 chip amplifier kit is tightly packed in a simple chassis the uses four aluminum panels and two heatsinks.
The power amplifier project obtained its A4 name due to the four separate power amplifiers contained in this unit which offers great flexibility using different modes of operation.
The project is termed as Atapchi which refers to a small fruit in Singapore since the device is probably the world’s smallest low-speed USB analyzer.
The project utilizes a PIC16F628A with an on-chip comparator in order to feed the output from the op-amp directly into the PIC and extract the digital signal from an RFID card reader.
