Abstract

This project aims to bridge the gap between analog and digital electronics by altering an analog handset to be compatible with digital technology, i.e., to rewire it to be able to plug it into any audio jack. To accomplish this we will develop our knowledge of circuitry, specifically signal conversion, master pinouts of new audio processing components, and learn how to properly solder heat sensitive equipment. The idea is to ‘graft’ variations of TRRS tips onto analog handsets so that they are fully compatible with analog and digital signals. Our planned application is to teach basic electronics or electrical engineering and soldering techniques to first-year physics students.
