Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of circuit experiment technology, specifically a variable resistor-capacitor circuit module. Background Technology

[0002] In signal acquisition systems, the control of key components such as resistors and capacitors is crucial for achieving module versatility and performance optimization. By meticulously adjusting the parameters of these components, different signal processing needs can be met. For example, changing the values ​​of resistors and capacitors can adjust the signal amplitude, optimize amplifier gain, and adjust the cutoff frequency range of filters. In this way, the same hardware module can flexibly adapt to various application scenarios through software configuration and hardware adjustments, thereby improving the system's flexibility and applicability. Currently, resistance is mostly changed using sliding rheostats, which change the resistance by altering the length of the resistance wire connected to the circuit. The resistance wire of a sliding rheostat is generally made of a nickel-chromium alloy with a high melting point and high resistance, while the metal rod is generally made of a metal with low resistance. When the cross-sectional area of ​​the resistor is constant, the longer the resistance wire, the greater the resistance; the shorter the resistance wire, the smaller the resistance. However, sliding rheostats typically occupy more space, which can be a limitation in the design of compact electronic devices that strive for minimal form factor. Their larger footprint may negatively impact the overall portability and integration of the device. Furthermore, the resistance adjustment resolution provided by sliding rheostats is limited by the minimum step accuracy of their physical knobs or sliders, making very fine resistance adjustments impossible. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a variable resistor-capacitor circuit module with adjustable parameters in real time.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

The main control chip ESP32 controls the software interface through the serial port based on the device data read by IIC, and updates the screen and IIC device data according to the user's screen operation.

[0011] Preferably, the variable resistor-capacitor module uses a RecordArray two-dimensional array to record device status and parameters. Through device address identification and layer conversion, the interface display is dynamically updated, and the light function is used to control the icon status to reflect the device's online status. Users can enter the resistor-capacitor adjustment interface by clicking the layer icon. The system sets the title and component values ​​according to the RecordArray information and displays them in the corresponding interface.

[0012] Preferably, the user can adjust the resistance and capacitance of the resistance and capacitance on the resistance and capacitance control interface either through a slider control or by keyboard input.

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model provides a variable resistor-capacitor circuit module, including a main control chip ESP32, a variable resistor-capacitor module, and an interactive touch screen.

[0021] First, the two pins of the main control chip ESP32 serve as the data line (SDA) and clock line (SCL) of the IIC bus, respectively. These two pins are connected to the power supply through pull-up resistors to ensure that the line can maintain a high level when there is no data transmission.

[0022] Two pins of the main control chip ESP32 are connected to the base of the variable resistor-capacitor module for IIC communication. It defines a 16-bit IIC address. The first 8 bits are all 0, which means that the variable resistor-capacitor module is a stacked module. The last 8 bits, from 0x03 to 0x0A, represent which device is stacked from bottom to top. This module can be used for signal conditioning or filtering to meet the needs of subsequent signal processing.

[0023] Secondly, the variable resistor-capacitor module is a stackable module. Its base includes +5V power supply, ground, and IIC (Inter-Integrated Circuit) communication data and clock pins, and can be stacked up to eight layers. Each variable resistor-capacitor stack module contains a variable resistor and a variable capacitor. The ATmega328P acts as the main controller, which is responsible for controlling the variable resistor and variable capacitor through its I / O ports. The ATmega328P uses two I / O ports to output chip select signals, which are connected to the chip select (CS) terminals of the variable capacitor and variable resistor respectively.

[0024] The variable capacitor module works on the principle of variable capacitance: the ATmega328P acts as the main controller, controlling the ADGS1612BCPZ chip via SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface Bus). This, along with a capacitor matrix, enables variable capacitance. The ADGS1612BCPZ is a single-pole single-throw (SPST) switch with four serially controlled pins, dynamically connecting different capacitors to the circuit. Different combinations of switches allow for selective parallel or series connection of capacitors, synthesizing the desired equivalent capacitance value and achieving adjustable capacitance. The combination of the ADGS1612BCPZ chip and the capacitor matrix creates a highly configurable signal processing platform capable of adapting to various electrical environments and dynamic changes. Resistance adjustment is also achieved through the ADGS1612BCPZ chip and the resistor matrix. Similar to the variable capacitor, precise chip select signals allow the ATmega328P to flexibly adjust the values ​​of the capacitor and resistor. The output capacitor and resistor are led out from the ports, allowing for the selection of appropriate resistors and capacitors for circuit use.

[0025] The aforementioned variable resistance can also be achieved using a potentiometer (also known as a variable resistor or potentiometer), such as... Figure 3 As shown. A potentiometer is an electronic component that can adjust the resistance value, allowing the user to dynamically change the resistance value. The adjustable range is 1Ω-100kΩ, with a resolution of 10Ω.

[0026] Meanwhile, the interactive touch screen uses the DC32960M046 M-series serial port screen from DaCai. The main control chip ESP32 controls the software interface through the serial port based on the device data read by IIC, and updates the screen and IIC device data according to the user's screen operation.

[0027] The variable resistor-capacitor module uses a RecordArray two-dimensional array to record the device status and parameters. It dynamically updates the interface display through device address identification and layer conversion, and uses the light function to control the icon status to reflect the device's online status. Users can enter the resistor-capacitor adjustment interface by clicking the layer icon. The system sets the title and component values ​​according to the RecordArray information and displays them in the corresponding interface.

[0028] The resistance and capacitance can be adjusted by the user through slider controls or keyboard input. The input results will be displayed in the text box, responding to user operations in real time and updating device values ​​through IIC communication.

[0029] The variable resistor-capacitor circuit module features real-time adjustable parameters: parameters can be dynamically adjusted via touchscreen. The ATmega328P main controller within the module controls the ADGS1612BCPZ chip and the resistor-capacitor matrix to dynamically adjust resistance and capacitance values, enabling functions such as filtering at different frequencies and adjusting amplification factors to adapt to different environments and signal requirements. Equipped with an interactive touchscreen: using the DaCai M-series DC32960M046 serial port screen, it achieves real-time data display and immediate response to user operations, providing a corresponding user interface and interactive feedback mechanism, enhancing the intuitiveness and ease of operation of user experiments, and making the parameter optimization process visible. The optimized circuit layout solves the problem of low space utilization caused by functional overlap between modules, reduces the need for redundant components, achieves a more compact and efficient system design, and enhances the understanding of the overall impact of parameter adjustments on the system during the learning process.

[0030] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
