## Wat
|
|
|
|
This pcb is an audio multiplexer, meaning it can switch three analog inputs into one analog output.
|
|
|
|
## Why
|
|
|
|
Sometimes you just need more inputs. And this is how you do it.
|
|
|
|
## How
|
|
|
|
The BD3491 does all the audio switching. It combines one 6 input switch and an equalizer into a simple package.
|
|
The STM32 configures the BD3491 to switch to the specified inputs based on pressed buttons or software control.

# serial control Syntax
|
|
Upon connecting the stm32 to a PC using USB it will register itself as a new Serial Port. The following text commands can be issued via said Serial connection (the baudrate is irrelevant):
|
|
|
|
- `C[number]\n` will change the input to the specified channel. The stm32 echo the command as it was understood. e.g: When Sending `C0\n` it will respond `C0\r\n` to acknowledge the channel switched to **Input 1**. When issuing a `C10` there will be no response, since 10 is out of range. *NOTE:* when using the buttons on the PCB to switch the input, the stm will also issue a `C[number]\r\n` over the serial port if it is connected to notify the PCB of the external input change.
|
|
|
|
- `G[number]\n` will activate an input gain of [number] in dB. It will also respond with the closest gain it can do. e.g: `G10` will result in the stm responding `G12\r\n` which means it will add a 12db input boost, which was the closest matching _valid_ input gain value. You can check the datasheet of the BD3491 to find the possible gain values if this peaks your interest :)
|
|
|
|
- `L[number]\n` or `R[number]\n` will activate an attenuator in either the left or the right channel. [number] is once again in dB. It works much like the `G`-command. Setting [number] to 0 will deactivate the Attenuation.
|
|
|
|
- `B[number]\n` or `T[number]\n` adds **B**ass or **T**reble gain to the output
|
|
|
|
- `M[0/1]\n` will either mute or unmute the output
|
|
|
|
- `S[0/1]\n` will connect all inputs to the output
