# History
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
28-Dec-2019: Initial Version. Just reads five switches and triggers an output.
|
|
29-Dec-2019: Version 0.1 - Added a display. Cleaned up code. Made a repository.
|
|
29-Dec-2019: Version 0.1.1 - Added preliminary IR remote support
|
|
30-Dec-2019: Version 0.1.2 - Controls ShiftReset and OutputEnable on 595 to prevent random start-up state.
|
|
30-Dec-2019: Version 0.1.3 - Removed ShiftReset function. Replaced with reset circuit onboard.
|
|
01-Jan-2020: Added license, media, and proper README.
|
|
04-Jan-2020: Version 0.1.4 - Changed project name. Removed 1602 display code. Added 128x32 OLED code

# About
|
|
|
|
HiFiLOGIX is an Arduino Sketch to add modern logic control to vintage analog stereo systems. It is being
|
|
built and developed around my own personal vintage amplifier; the Denon PMA-770. It is written by a guy
|
|
who knows a lot about analog audio circuits and virtually nothing about Arduino.
|
|
|
|
# About the PMA-770 & Why This Exists
|
|
|
|
The Denon PMA-770 is a high-end integrated amplfier from the early 80's capable of the usual 100 watts into
|
|
8 ohms; and somewhere in the neighborhood of 120 to 140 in to a 4 ohm load. It's a DC coupled amplifier of
|
|
"Direct-A" topology. It's got 3 pairs of output transistors, no capacitors in the audio path, and it sounds
|
|
outstanding.
|
|
|
|
But it's also got this seriously stupid way of working the input switching that has not only caused failure
|
|
of most of the inputs; but is silly enough I don't want to bother trying to replace the switches to keep the
|
|
original method in tact. In order for the audio to make it in to the amplifier, it relies on connecting through
|
|
the "normally closed" contact on the switch "in front" of it. Well the "normally closed" contact has decided it
|
|
no longer wants to close and the entirely sealed design has prevented cleaning agents to make it in.
|
|
|
|
To add to the stupidity; this unit features a simple segemented LCD display to display the name of the input.
|
|
This was a probably a pretty big ordeal in an era where even a single LED lighting up over the name was an
|
|
entirely new idea. This display is non-standard and relies on even more contacts in each input switch to throw
|
|
pins to AC. Disabling the input switches would disable this display; but the 128x32 OLED looks like it will fit
|
|
in the phsical space the existing one does.
|
|
|
|
Taking that in to account, I decided to build a relay board driven by an Arduino that would also drive the
|
|
display. It also lets me do crazy things like add input selection by remote control...something you weren't
|
|
getting back in 1981. Additional modifications like motorized pots for volume could further extend the
|
|
remote control function.
|
|

# Hardware
|
|
|
|
The basic idea is parallel the actuator contacts of DPDT (or DPST) relays and flip them on one at a time (two
|
|
for phono).

Data is shifted in to a 74HC595 and it's parallel outputs are used to control a ULN2803(or 2003) darlington array to
|
|
in turn drive a relay. The output of the 74HC595 is controlled by the microcontroller and an RC circuit on the reset
|
|
line prevent suprious relays from firing. Every effort has been taken to ensure only one relay will be fired at a time
|
|
to prevent damage to other audio components. The 2803/2003 arrays include built in snubber diodes for inductive kick-
|
|
back protection. If you should deviate from this schematic and use discreet diodes, you must add these diodes to your
|
|
circuit or you will damage the transistors, shift register, and/or Adruino.
|
|
|
|
The switch matrix consists of a simple resistor based analog method that merely throws different amounts of voltage thru
|
|
resistors. While this allows us to read all of our switches using just one line, it can cause problems should you want to
|
|
trigger two buttons. On the PMA-770 this is fine as the original bank of switches are mechanically linked to allow only
|
|
one to be active at a time. It is possible to read dual inputs as long as the parallel resistance doesn't cause a value
|
|
close to any indvidual switch. I have included a small utility in the /utilities folder that will display the current
|
|
ADC integer value to the LCD display. It can be used for just figuring out which resistors to use, or to check behavior
|
|
of paralelled resistors (two button press scenario). Using one line for the switch matrix is not set in stone and may
|
|
change depending on needs and availability of pins going forward.
|
|
|
|
The Phono-1 and Phono-2 inputs are the only time the unit will ever fire two relays. This is because on the original
|
|
unit itself; both of these inputs route the phono-stage preamp to the main amplifier while routing the cartridge input to
|
|
the phono-stage.
|
|
|
|
An 1838 IR sensor is used for remote control function. An additional utility may be written to help with this going forward
|
|
but it's possible I may wind up writing a routine for "self-programming".
|
|
|
|
As of Version 0.1.4 we now support the SSD1306 based 128x32 OLED Display.
|
|
|
|
In the future I will be adding some kind of NVRam storage. This will facilitate actually storing configuration options, remote
|
|
programming codes, and to store the last-used input. I may also use this to store graphic data for the OLED display to
|
|
emulate the original segmented font display of the Denon.

[*Prototype & Development Build*
|
|
|
|
This is the most current prototype featuring a 128x32 OLED and a ULN2003 driving actual relays. It is known as hardware
|
|
revision 1.3.
|
|
|
|
I'm horrible at making videos in general...but I still made an attempt to show things off. Youtube embedding is apparently
|
|
broken and I don't feel like putting a gig worth of video in the repository, so you'll just have to use links.
