Nespressound
All right these are experiments only for fun with coffee capsule (actually NOT nespresso ones) to make tiny speakers.
There is absolutely no pretention in this and I assume this may look childish for the gurus here who build neumann-like lathe heads while watching tv but whatever...
I ordered a spool of copper wire on ebay. Once received I build a quick & dirty coil winder... I will add a turn counter later.
Unfortunately, the only neodynium magnet I had was too big to fit in the capsule... I'll buy smaller ones .
Anyway, all advices are welcome...

Re: Nespressound
NICE. I have no idea what I'm looking at but it seems worthy!
Re: Nespressound
Sweet speaker chaosbc!
They work really well and I awlays thought the magnet always had to be in in side of the coil.

Re: Nespressound
Thanks! The lap counter comes from a cassette player.If you are lucky you can find one that counts one unit per revolution of the axis, but not allways is like that.chaosbc wrote:looks cool ! where did you get the counter from ?
I grabbed mine from an AmstradCPC (8 bit computer) cassette unit.I've got more , I can send one to you,PM if you want it.

This is really nice from you but I grabbed a digital tally and reed switches from ebay...Fela Borbone wrote:Thanks!

That said I am happy to read that parts of the almighty cpc 464 are still very alive and used...Actually writting this I just realized I do have a CPC 464 somewhere in my basement...but I cannot tear it down...I'd prefer a self surgery on my own brain, my heart would be less ripped in two

Re: Nespressound
I ordered a tally counter on ebay few days ago for 1 euro including shipping (lol), hacked the count button and connected it to a (normally-open) reed switch.
The neodynium magnet is on the crank... et voilà ! Nothing high tech nor innovative but quick and funny to do.
