DIGITAL INPUT AUDIO TUNER MANUAL
After looking through the manual and discussing this with our tech expert, I would suggest possibly changing the auto setting to one of the manual options.
DIGITAL INPUT AUDIO TUNER TV
The way TV programmes are broadcast is not in any pre-determined aspect ratio, and it seems that the auto setting of your TV is possibly struggling to manage the changes between the different channels. Hopefully you will have a similar setting in your menu I too thought there was a 'fault' somewhere, but job done, and now works as it should. (it was originally set to 16:9, which I would have thought would be correct anyway).Įxit out the menus, and then cycle through the remote control's ratio button to ' auto'. I had to go into the 'TV Setup' menu, and set the ' default aspect ratio' to 4:3. Had the same game with mine initially (Grundig 19" Combi), and it did take some figuring out and head-scratching!.
DIGITAL INPUT AUDIO TUNER UPDATE
* Do a combination of zooming and stretching to make sure the whole screen has a picture on it (internal DTV/ATV) or do the correct thing (SCART)ĭoes anyone have any tricks for getting the widescreen mode correct? Is there a software update (it comes with a USB port specifically for updating the software - but I've googled and found nothing)? Or is there nothing I can do about this? * Always 4:3 pillarbox, even with 16:9 programmes This seems to work, but there's one completely evil problem - it doesn't seem to be able to do the right thing for widescreen on analogue or digital (but you can get it right with SCART). I decided to replace it with the JVC model (LT-19DK3BJ) I was looking at originally (which was out of stock), as it has more input options as well as USB and SD card slots.
DIGITAL INPUT AUDIO TUNER PC
Once I ensured everything was just right with my algorithm, I was able deploy it to the hardware so that it could run standalone, without being connected to the PC and independent of Simulink.Today I was in Salisbury so I thought I may as well change it. These outputs go straight to Arduino digital output blocks. The outputs of the MATLAB function are the three pins that control the motor. The function determines whether the pitch of the string is too high, too low, or in tune based on the period range, and generates outputs for the motor accordingly. This is the output “periodRange” from the Stateflow chart. To determine whether the string is in tune, the MATLAB function needs an input indicating what range of periods is considered in tune for each string. I wrote a MATLAB function that performs this pitch estimation, and included it in my Simulink model using the MATLAB function block. The tuning algorithm estimates the pitch of the string by determining the period of the waveform. The period of the waveform corresponds to a certain musical pitch.

When a single note is played on a guitar, the waveform generated is periodic. Since Simulink allows me to tune parameters while a simulation is running, I was easily able to set my threshold value. The audio will be processed only when the signal is above this threshold value. I chose a value of 575, just above this flat line, to be my threshold. It is important to know this value because the tuner should process the audio only when there is a note being played. When the guitar is not played, the input signal should be a flat line somewhere between 500 and 700. This will allow for the most precise reading of the signal. The gain should be set as high as possible without the waveform’s peak reaching the maximum value of 1023. The scope block helped me tune the potentiometer in the audio circuit to change the gain of the input. I can then deploy the algorithm to the hardware for standalone execution.
DIGITAL INPUT AUDIO TUNER CODE
Using the software’s external mode capabilities, I can simulate an algorithm on the Arduino with automatic code generation and tune parameters while the simulation is running, without having to recompile any code. The support package allows me to read from and write to pins on the Arduino using Simulink blocks.

Simulink is a block-diagram environment used for developing algorithms and modeling dynamic systems. I used Simulink and its support package for Arduino to develop the algorithm for the tuner. On the shaft of the motor, I assembled a simple gripping mechanism using a clamp hub, four screws, and some tape. It has a voltage range of 3-12 V, and so I used a 9 V battery as the power source. The motor I used has a speed of 6 RPM and a maximum torque of 613 oz-in.

I needed a geared motor with a low speed and a high torque. I couldn’t use just any DC motor for this project.
