CC3200 SimpleLink Development Page.

Step 1 is to add LCD and some analog interface to my CC3200MOD board. Schematics link.

CC3200 SimpleLink Wi-Fi and Internet-of-Things solution, a Single-Chip Wireless MCU.

Another CC3200MOD board has arrived as well.

SimpleLink Wi-Fi CC3200 module LaunchPad

Going wireless is fun. My new toys have arrived.

The next step is to set my pins in the code. Ti has a very handy tool for pin assignments Ti Pin Mux ToolPin Mux Tool.

The following are screen shots of the PinMax tool for the project:

Pin assignments for ADC:

Pin assignments for GPIO:

Pin assignments for I2C:

Pin assignments for SPI:

Pin assignments for UART:

The result is:

Simple Additive Mixer

Simple additive mixers use Kirchhoff's circuit laws to add the currents of two or more signals together. When two different signals are applied to an input of an amplifier (assuming the amplifier input impedance is much higher than the source impedances of the two signal generators) they will add At Vin Junction point. Nodal analysis at Vin point gives:

The following signal will be seen by the input of the amplifier:

Amplifier with Gain = 200

Below is the output waveform.

The following image is taken from o-scope simulation in MultisimBLUE

The simulated sound can be played on a speaker. Double click on the speaker symbol.

Use "Multisim schematics file with audio output" example below. Run the simulation for a few seconds, then press "Play sound button" and you should hear the mixed simulated sound.

Used MultiSIM BLUE for simulation.

A basic volt-level indicator using LM339 comparator and a row of four LEDs.

I was going through my old files and discovered some circuits I have built some time ago. Avery basic LED voltage level indicator using LM339 can be used to indicate 4 voltage levels between 0 and 4V.

The basic circuit is shown below. Each comparator is biased one step higher than the comparator below it. As the input voltage increases and exceeds the reference voltage on the comparator's inverting input, the output goes high and lights its respective LED. Output sink current for the LEDs is approximately 6mA. It can be extended to 8 levels with an additional LM339 comparator. The circuit was simulated with MultiSIM BLUE.
