The AutoTalk -E2 board is similar in function with all the exact features of the original AutoTalk board developed several years ago for professional animatronic clients, in that it moves an R/C type servo in response to either an audio input signal from any standard CD player, tape recorder, sound source, but now has jumper setting for greater sensitivity in using the board from a sound source with low signal input, such as found on a digital sound chips or direct connected mic amplifier and dynamic microphone setup. The board has an on-board voltage regulator for using a variety of voltage sources including the use of a battery for remote applications, a quick connector for connecting power, LED power status indicator and enhanced output to operate a standard R/C servo with greater response. The controller includes the function to set both the servo end travel points, an important feature when working with various mouth jaw sizes, the servo arm direction of travel can also be quickly changed by an on-board jumper and the sensitivity of the audio input signal through the improved on-board gain control have also been enhanced for greater response.

The maximum recording time per track is 3 minutes for multiple track operation or 6 minutes for single track operation. The card incorporates features such as looping action with variable delay between loops, auto start-up on power up, a connection interface for a PIR, remote switch or pressure pad to initiate playback and the ability to daisy-chain several
cards together. The card may be connected to the optional Sound Board Pro to provide audio accompaniment to the tracks.

Recording tracks are built up in real time on a channel-by-channel basis no programming is required.

During recording all previously recorded channels are re-played to aid synchronization.

NOTE: Controller requires 2 Power Supplies(1-9VDC and 1-5 or 6VDC)
NOTE: Sound Board Pro required if sound option is used.

( 9 Vdc @ 2 Amp and 5-6 Vdc @ 2 Amp power supplies recommended )

Regulated Power Supplies ( 5-6 and 9 VDC ) and Servos, not included.

Board accepts audio input from any non-amplified sound source (computer, CD player, or Digital Sound Board) and when the volume reaches a certain level, it activates an on board 10 Amp relay. The relay can be used to switch another device on and off in sync with the volume of the input. There is an on-board potentiometer that is used to adjust the sensitivity to the incoming sound. The board has a 1/8" phono jacks for input that can be switched as a left or right audio input signal. An on board LED indicates when the 10 Amp relay is activated. Relay has NO, Com, NC wire terminal block contacts (form C relay). Board operates from 12 VDC power supply.

( Power Supply, Sound Source Audio Cable not included )

Control Board operates a R/C servo motor in response to sound from a non-amplified sound source (computer, CD player, etc.)
Features:
Audio Indicator LED responds directly to the incoming audio
On-board sensitivity adjustment (Potentiometer)
Duo Audio Jack sound input and output,- two 3.5 mm (1/8") audio jacks
On / Off power switch with LED.
LED status indicators.
Servo range movement setting, min and max servo limits can be programmed.
Board operates by converting the volume of an incoming sound from an audio source to a voltage signal which is sampled by a PIC microcontroller. When this voltage exceeds a certain amount, the PIC actuates a servo. The sampling rate is very fast which gives a nice servo response to the incoming audio volume.

Audio input can be stereo or mono. If using stereo, there is a small slide switch that is used to select which side (right or left) you want to use. If you plug it in to a stereo source, it will only respond to one channel of the sound. This can be an advantage if you have two of these boards ­ one using each side of the stereo output. Great for applications like bantering skulls ­ just record each skull's banter on separate channels. If you want to mix both channels together, use a Stereo to Mono adapter and plug it into the audio input jack.

Board operates from regulated 9 VDC @ 1 Amp power supply.
( Power supply, audio cable, remote audio amplifier and speakers, R/C servo not included.)

Information Document

Unique servo signal controlled electronic video switching system which provides clean and fast switching between 4 video channels to 1 channel.
System allows 4 video channels to be switched to 1 master channel, by adjusting the R/C transmitter joystick, or assigning a servo signal value from any R/C PWM signal controller.

The Video switcher board will switch one of four video input signals to a buffered video output line. The Video Switcher board is suitable for all standard CCTV type video signals.

Small board approx. 2"x 4" with BNC connectors for the video and 9Vdc supply socket and servo connector.
Video Switching is done by a solid state unit using a standard 4 to 1 mux under micro processor control. The processor also measure the incoming servo pulse and determine which input to connect to the video output.

System is excellent for operating 4 different cameras, and sending video signal from one of the 4 cameras out to a remote transmitter. Put full 360 degree vision on your robot, airplane, animatronic character, or setup a covert operation with remote control.
