Re: It didn't explode....... YET (aka niges amp)

.....Actually 20 secondaries rectified powering 20 regs with 20 diodes on the reg + powering 20 cells in series I was close though - just missed out on some small details, haha :) Yea I think id compare the supercaps to the batteries first, its simpler to implement youll have to current limit the r...

Tour of Supercapacitor PSes

Looking for feedback on some different PSes I have produced & thought a local tour might be of interest & useful? All devices use direct power i.e. no regulators on the output as this provides best power delivery characteristics & best sound when used in audio devices. There are 3 variat...

Re: It didn't explode....... YET (aka niges amp)

.............. THE BIG QUESTION remains: do I simply wire up two assemblies - a 26650 with a 3.3 volts regulator/charger along with a supercaps at approximately approx. 1.9 volts regulator/charger and then put them in series? This is where I get concerned. I do not see a DC-DC converter at less tha...

Re: It didn't explode....... YET (aka niges amp)

Hi Rick Here are some suggestions: You can individually charge two batteries in series by using a normal vreg to charge the battery on the ground end of the series & using an isolated DC-DC converter on the other battery in the series - the isolation avoids the input ground of the DC-DC converte...

Re: SD player UI development

The Demo here http://apls.bliptunes.com/demo.html shows some more functionality - playlist & Jukebox Best to start simple & work up to building something more sophisticated once we have a simple working method The first link I gave seems to answer what we originally wanted - an ability to us...

Re: SD player UI development

I think we can use this player as the front end UI music player https://one.8ue.nl/# - looks really good (looks like an old turntable) & can run on phone Open the playlist (top left button) & drag music files to it to play a file The code is here http://apls.bliptunes.com/ so we can change w...

Re: SD player UI development

John Take a look at this https://flashair-developers.com/en/documents/api/lua/guide/#method2 Looks pretty simple to start a lua script on a "write event" Can also start one from a http request, but I write event sounds like what we want. I'm not really sure what a "write event" ...

Re: SD player UI development

I was thinking some more about this yesterday, during my evening walk. Here’s my proposal. The Flashair card support Lua scripts, and I have a tiny bit of experience with Lua. Write a lua script to run at the end of a file transfer, that sends a command to the ESP to start playing a new song. I did...

Re: SD player UI development

Randy, You should try Amplitudejs (yes, I'm back considering this as the best solution to our needs) https://521dimensions.com/open-source/amplitudejs It's a music player app that is a simple front end for HTML5 which means it will run on any platform. Its Java source is simple enough even for me wi...

Re: SD player UI development

Yea, I was thinking of the last option I suggested - transferring the file selected for playing to the SDP I can't remember the timing now but I was impressed by the transfer speed over Flashair & it may not be a problem in practice if one file at a time is being selected & played but if a p...
