volume remote control module with PGA 2311

Jempie · 4th June 2010, 09:55 AM

hi

I have bought by ebay a volume remote control module with PGA 2311
the problem is that the volume starts every time with the volume level of
-46dB and does not remember the volume setting. Also the lowest volume is
-96 dB and you can still hear some sound it must be zero.

a have ask the seller to change the software of setting but the don't give
any correct awnsers. Is there a way to change the HEX file i

Hello Jempie , if you are wiling to change the mc with an atmega16 and do some minor changes on your pcb then I can write to you a firmware in my spare time that are complied with your request .

Do someone know if this 2x16 LCD display could be replaced by a VFD one ?

Hi Danzup, did you already had the time to change the volume controle module

fwiw, I also bought one of these (I think its the same one; it has 3 PGA DIP16 chips on it).

NO schematic came, not even in email. very poor form ;(

I'm not even sure if I want to build this, to be honest. the pcb layout is horrible, no ground plane, no recommended bypassing that the vendors (cirrus and ti) recommend. no firmware code, no nothing, really. pretty disapointing.

I also plan to ignore the onboard chip and firmware and use my own. I had a PGA chip going once on some firmware I wrote for the arduino and I might port my code over to this kind of platform eventually.

everytime I order from ebay/china, I get less than I expected. WHY do they not included pcb layouts (at least) and schematics? I know that asking for code is 'asking too much' from ebay vendors but, wow, my 'kit' came with ZERO docs ...

vfd is not 5v based, is it?

the lcd is hd44780 (hitachi) standard. you'd have to find a VFD that speaks that same 14/16 pin (14pin really since the top 2 on the 16 is the backlight and you DON'T USE THAT for vfd) protocol as the hitachi.

I have try some Noritake VFD (some 2 ... 3 years ago) and work as charmed without need to change anything because that type have an HD like interface build in .
