MAX1044 Negative Voltage Generator Latching Up
The MAX1044 negative voltage generator can take up to 10v in and generate a similar negative rail voltage, but the abs max input is 10.5v, so when operating near the limits, a small input voltage spike can cause the device to latch up.
A zener diode can help clamp the input voltage for intermittent spikes and help keep things running.

Hey man great tutorial but, I have an issue. I followed the exact same steps in the video. Flashed the bootloader using Arduino UNO as ISP into the attiny85. But after that, when I try to upload code using the Arduino IDE and connect the attiny85, it's not being recognized by the IDE. IDK what's wrong although it worked perfectly fine in the video for you. Any help is greatly appreciated as I am working on my college project which has a close deadline. Thanks in advance!
even though it still works for me, other people had trouble getting the whole thing to work and support in Arduino is dwindling for ATTiny usb. it got abandoned along the way so I think at this point it only works for me by luck and it could also depend on different computers or how sensitive USB is on different hardware because it’s only a hack anyway so it’s lucky it works at all. I switched over to using other chips that have USB support on them.
TVS diodes are very very fast, but they start to conduct quite a bit before the tripping point. so you have to be carful as you say to pick the diode. they can take a lot of current when catching a spike, but pick one too close to the supply voltage and you can cook it due to prolonged leakage current. they can't dissipate a lot of heat. Could be just putting the resistor in series limited how fast the cap could charge up. so adding a little filtering to the supply.
Having just the resistor did improve the waveform by smoothing out the disturbance but it was still allowing on average up to 300 mV more of a Peak so instead of averaging just below 10 V with the Zener it was averaging more like 10.2 V with a lot more little spikes and especially with how erratic the disturbance can get I figured it was still safer to try to clamp it with silicon.
@gadgetsideload one thing to think about is where the grounding of the scope is and the 0v connection of the circuit. As there could also be ground bounce, which if that's where the scope is connected it can look like the supply is moving. Not sure how fast a zener diode can react they are much slower than a tvs diode. A star connection for the 0V often can help so current spikes on the 0V are not passed on to other the parts of the circuit. So a change in where the chip's over is connected might help.
This is such a cool project. Thanks for sharing!
Hey, When do I have to set the AVRISP mkII as programmer and when do I use Arduino as ISP? I want to burn the bootloader of the Attiny85 using my ESP32 as ISP. Therefore I uploaded the sketch „ArduinoISP“ with some changes like the ports. Unfortunately, I get the error „stk500_recv () programmer is not responding“. Can a misused programmer be a reason for that error?
Arduino as ISP is set when trying to use some kind of arduino (or ESP32) board as a programmer to get code into the final device (ATTiny chip) because you're using that physical arduino board as a programmer in between the computer and the target chip. But in order to put the ArduinoISP sketch into that arduino/ESP board in the first place to turn it into a programmer, you're just using normal programming methods like any other project so you use AVRISP mkII to get that arduino set up to behave like a programmer. I've never tried using esp32 as ISP but maybe this thread is helpful forum.arduino.cc/t/programming-avr-with-an-esp32-with-arduino-as-isp/1105576/2
I watched your video - great stuff! I was wondering, is there a way to do the same thing with an ATTiny88? Would love to try it on that chip. Thanks!

Excellent tutorial. I had to use a later version of AVRDude from Github because of a USBlib error. I couldn't use the Digistump files on Arduino 2.3.4 but uploaded using the Micronucleus board from ATTCore library,
Hey, which version of AVRDude did you get? I‘ve got the Same problem. Could you please send a link?
Thanks. The clearest video I've found about how to do this.
Good work, btw.
I have the MXR EVH. The script switch is bullshit; the difference between that and block is imperceptible.
Feel free to disagree. Welcome to feedback.
I know it is very subtle and hard to tell if there’s a difference but it’s been a while since I tried changing it. I think I once read that it changes a resistor value but I can’t remember what it is supposed to do. maybe some buzzwords like making it more mellow or less harsh which might translate to changing the depth of the sweep and maybe we need younger ears because maybe the change is only in the upper frequencies. an oscilloscope comparison might be interesting.
That looks like the same pedal that The Guitologist had the same issue with
i’ll have to look for that and check it out. I just recently watched him tear apart that Apple charger.
This video was very helpful from basics of understanding dds i spent 4 hours reading books articles thoose went above my head. Thanks for this video. Keep it up.

Hi Dustin, happy new year.
@@TheEmbeddedHobbyist Hi Thanks! You too of course!
it sounds to me like the waveform of the low frequency oscillator is not the same because the sweep seems different. I’m curious about studying the schematic and then tracing signals to see what it’s doing at some point.
Very well explained!

Great video! Came for the punch down but stayed for the whole thing.
Yeah, the latest version of Micronucleus might not be recognized by Arduino (last I tried). Might be safer to image the Digispark one. I like to fuse out the reset pin, giving you 4 pins free IO (plus the D+/D- USB bootloading/debugging.) This way, you can make a cool USB to 4-pin ISP out of one of those Digisparks, without the need for jumpering your Uno.
looks like something id hold it back, you should be able to get 860 samples per second. which is about 1.1ms conversion time. Were you using single shot or continuous sampling, continuous sampling should speed things up as you don't need to wait for sample to complete, you just read the last sample. were you doing fast i2C @ 400kHz?
I was using whatever the default wire library would do with the Adafruit ADC library and I think it was just single readings, I pulled up a sketch from years ago and just added extra channels to make sure I could get it going but it also looks like the library for it has changed over the versions, had to fight off compile errors. So I need to look into it all again and get up to date and try some more in-depth testing now that I know it’s a viable thing
@@gadgetsideload one of the reasons i stopped using the Arduino IDE. Libraries should be backwards compatible, if you change the methods you should leave the old one in place. but anybody can post a library and no one cares how well they are written. Plus i find they only contain the easy bits of the datasheet or the the one bit the writer wanted to use. Far easer to write your own, plus your learn a lot more about the chip in the process.
at some point along the way I started noting in the comments at the top of sketches, the version number of every library and every board file that I used at the time I was working on the project. and then eventually I also started making note of the Arduino IDE version because even that caused problems. there was something going on with ESP board files I can’t remember if it was affecting ESP 8266 or ESP 32 but certain things would not work unless I rolled back to version one something. I recall some problems with SD card libraries, I don’t know if that’s the same problem.
I like these, very interesting. Would really love for you to check out the linear-ness of the V measurements, and the accuracy / precession of the internal voltage refs. Would not expect stable measurements in the last three bits, but that is fine.
I think I first used these five years ago and back then I remember reading something about how even though they are called 16 bit there might only be 15 practical bits but I forget why. I have to dig into it all again. One thing I do need to look more into, I was running these at 5 V but later when I tried at 3.3 I was getting weird readings like suddenly whatever inputs had ground versus 3.3 V, I was seeing those readings show up on different channels in the serial monitor but they were working fine at 5 V so I don’t know if it’s because I was using the esp that was acting strange or a different library version, some debunking to do.
@@gadgetsideload I've been frustrated for years, trying to make an inexpensive measuring tool for multiple battery voltages. Dedicated chips seem to work better than MCUs ... but still, hard to get real stable, fast 3-digit accuracy.
good luck in measuring the characteristic of a 16bit ADC, been there and done that as part of design verification of an asic which was being designed for us. Takes a lot of expensive equipment and way too much time to want to do it for fun. I had to re-run after every change made don't know how many months (close to a year) I must have spent just checking the ADC. 😞
@@GnuReligion how fast to you need them to be, I've found batteries to be quite slow to do things. i'd go for dedicated chips every time.
Thanking you most kindly from English England
O M G....THANK YOU for making this video!!! The blown part of your blender looks almost identical to what mine currently does! I was sick when this happened yesterday😢 I've had it for years but have only used it about 15+/- times, literally. You have given me hope, THANK YOU🙏 P.S.... were the pieces that blew apart hard molded plastic type material originally? I ask b/c mine is actually somewhat flexible....I was wondering if that material deteriorates over time.
I think it is some kind of hard rubber and that’s why it sort of melts over long periods of time and becomes goo but if it was just plastic it would probably become brittle and fracture as solid pieces of plastic
This was amazing, solved the issue over here.

Hi, my soldering station always blinking on 350 and sometimes shows E-3. It not possible to change values. Soldering unit gets warm but very slowly. Any idea?
Are you in a 110V place with a tip on 220Volt ? You probably need to switch out the small heater-unit inside the iron. Just my guess...
Good stuff
Wonderful circuit analysis! I want to know more... like how are you hooking up your mic and output to the breadboard? Is that other breadboard your 555 circuit? I'd love a close up or a combination build video. Thank you for this great vid.
I can’t remember exactly how things were hooked up but glancing at what I see on the table, that other breadboard does look like it has the 555 with a variable duty cycle possibly as an audio test source. The final audio output was that orange amplifier and I had a clip on microphone laying on the table to pick up the audio and record it on a zoom H1 which is sitting beside the orange amplifier. and the audio going to that orange amplifier is from the green cable with the black stripe and that’s going over to the breadboard with the echo circuit so it must be coming out of the actual Eco circuit directly. I can’t seem to follow the cables for the other circuit board to the left of the battery pack it looks like the 555 audio is going on the green cable into that White circuit board and then there’s two outputs I think it’s a splitter to buffer that, but it looks like one of those cables doesn’t go anywhere and the other one is probably going to that black mixer so maybe I was using the white board as a buffer or maybe I was trying something else and it didn’t work so the board just got left there because it wasn’t hurting anything. so overall it looks like maybe the 555 oscillator is going into the black mixer and so is the talking microphone and then the output of the mixer somehow gets connected to the input of the echo circuit and then it goes to the orange amplifier and gets recorded by a clip on microphone.
@gadgetsideload wow thanks for your reply. I'm trying to hook my output to a scarlett solo interface as we speak. Wish me luck!
I don't know why YT recommended this, but I'm frankly surprised and slightly relieved to know that replacements for this dumb part actually exist. I was assuming you were going to _make_ a new one.
When I'm doing a repair like this and the conductive part of the rubber contact is worn out I place a thin self-stick conductive pad over it. I use the kind from ButtonWorx, which I got on Amazon. I keep a universal kit of these self-stick pads in stock in my lab (part number BW-70KIT). There may be other brands that do the same thing, but this is the only one that seems to be readily available in my area. This approach has saved many items from the landfill over the years. I have no affiliation with ButtonWorx, I'm just a satisfied customer. (edited to correct spelling).
I’m so glad you did this. I’m sure because of planned obsolescence we’re not going to see any 40 year old electronics being revived in the future.
I can't tell you how cool I find this. I can't work out how this hasn't got more exposure. I can't wait to build a couple!
Why are you following T568B ? I thought USA followed T568A mainly
So I just stuck some adhesive aluminum duct tape underneath the button and it reestablished the conduction, i dont know how long this will last but it works for now atleast thanks for educating me on how these buttons work.
Works a treat ☺️
Can someone help how this solder iron is working without 24V power Supply?
I'm confused about the power supply for this soldering iron, which requires 24V to function. The circuit doesn't appear to include a 24V transformer or any other obvious means of providing the necessary voltage. Can someone explain how the iron is being powered in this setup?
Well, I think it is running on mains (so 220 Volt here). So both for the iron as for the hot-air part. I just don't know how it is calculating the temperature since there is no visible thermistor or such in the handle. So I guess it is somehow calculating the resistance in the heating-element and by a lookup-table or formula in the processor switching the heater on/of very fast.
@@elvinhaak Wouldn't be surprised if just doesn't calculate anything and the temp setting is, at best, a rough estimate and works just as a power adjustment. Also there's anothing video on this that points out that the metal connectors for the iron and air gun are NOT grounded, so in case the cable within breaks down a bit there could be 220V mains going into those connectors
I am interested, how to decoding Call Progress using esp32 without extra ic tone decoder eg. cmx673, cmx683, and so on
Goertzel algorithm libraries might be able to decode the frequencies in the audio but I’ve never tried it and some people have found it to be inconsistent.

I followed the PTC schematic before I found your video and I immediately get a 2.5V drop on my 5V rail after you connect it to the chip. Any ideas on what I’m doing wrong? Is it worth troubleshooting or should I just look into a chip analysis like you described here. Much appreciated!
if the main voltage supply rail is being dragged down dramatically when something is connected it sounds like a short circuit or bad component drawing excessive current.
Try re capping the console that might take care of it.
Very thorough. That punchdown holder is pretty essential. It really sucks to have that punchdown slip and go into your palm.
