mjIno
A little Amplifier for MP3 players and your Experiments with Arduino
Optimized Fritzing Amplifier now called mjIno it is an Amplifier for Breadboard connect or your MP3-Players like cellphones.
I always wonder when people contact an 8 ohm loudspeaker direct to the microcontroller pin. When we calculate the current through the speaker we get : I=U/R= 5V/8 ohm=0,625A=625 mA But microcontroller pin can only drive 20 mA to 40 mA!!!
So I designed this little amplifier to solve this problem.
Now you can connect your experiment by the mjIno and enjoying the sound.
Have a lot of fun!
Thanks to Fritzing Fab for producing the PCB! They become grate! Just the backside print I was missing. Hopefully I'll get one next time.
Yours Michael J.
