Because I wrote some learning code to teach my controler the IR codes of almost any remote. It was easier using Ken's library.

I've been thinking about buying a full wave inverter & a sealed 100 AH battery, I already have a good quality battery charger.

I need a system that will supply power to the amps as well as the transformers in them make the most noise, it's when they inject a 1050Hz signal to switch there gear on and off, hot water services on and off etc. Normally it's not a big issue, but at my place it's not good.

I only need about 150-170 watts total to run the whole system in normal conditions.

I assume this;

setSabreVolume(byte regVal)
{
void setSabreRBalance(byte regVal); // set volume of right channel
void setSabreLBalance(byte regVal); // set volume of left channel
}

should be:

void setSabreVolume(byte regVal)
{
void setSabreRBalance(byte regVal); // set volume of right channel
void setSabreLBalance(byte regVal); // set volume of left channel
}

Also I assume this;

if ((currAttnu+offSetLeftCh)>MINATTNU || (currAttnu+offSetLeftCh)>MINATTNU )

should be:

if ((currAttnu+offSetLeftCh)>MINATTNU || (currAttnu+offSetRightCh)>MINATTNU )

Thanks

I was going to try & get the display bar functioning before I give it a run, I find that part of the code very confusing, that's a big pile of code you've got there.

Thanks for the help

I think that the most likely source is your son :). No seriously I need to see the code you're using before I can say anything useful about the problem. Have you tried shielding the ir receiver after you switched it off? If it stays off when the receiver is shielded you know for sure that it picks up and reacts to some ir signals.

You could try putting some masking tape of it.

What do the highlighted lines do? Do they write the current offset to the registers, ie volume + 2 offset, then the volume might be 50 on one side & 51 on the other.

void setSabreLBalance(byte regVal){
regVal += offSetVolRight;
writeSabreReg(1, regVal); // set up volume in DAC1
writeSabreReg(3, regVal); // set up volume in DAC3
writeSabreReg(5, regVal); // set up volume in DAC5
writeSabreReg(7, regVal); // set up volume in DAC7
}

void setSabreRBalance(byte regVal){
regVal += offSetVolLeft;
writeSabreReg(0, regVal); // set up volume in DAC1
writeSabreReg(2, regVal); // set up volume in DAC3
writeSabreReg(4, regVal); // set up volume in DAC5
writeSabreReg(6, regVal); // set up volume in DAC7

I modified the Balance code to suit my screen and found the DAC was starting up at full volume (displayed correct startup volume "50" though), after start up if you adjusted the balance the volume would jump to the correct level. Then if you tried to change the volume the display would change but the actual vol level didn't change, once again if you adjusted balance the volume level would correct itself.

I ended up replacing;

/*void setSabreVolume(byte regVal)
{
void setSabreRBalance(byte regVal); // set volume of right channel
void setSabreLBalance(byte regVal); // set volume of left channel
}*/

with the original code;

void setSabreVolume(byte regVal)
{
writeSabreReg(0, regVal); // set up volume in DAC1
writeSabreReg(1, regVal); // set up volume in DAC2
writeSabreReg(2, regVal); // set up volume in DAC3
writeSabreReg(3, regVal); // set up volume in DAC4
writeSabreReg(4, regVal); // set up volume in DAC5
writeSabreReg(5, regVal); // set up volume in DAC6
writeSabreReg(6, regVal); // set up volume in DAC7
writeSabreReg(7, regVal); // set up volume in DAC8
}

and all worked fine

My display shows as a series of bars above & below center on the left of the screen.

That is because when you replaced the code with the original code the offset never gets added to the volume.

you need to replace

void setSabreVolume(byte regVal)
{
writeSabreReg(0, regVal); // set up volume in DAC1
writeSabreReg(1, regVal); // set up volume in DAC2
writeSabreReg(2, regVal); // set up volume in DAC3
writeSabreReg(3, regVal); // set up volume in DAC4
writeSabreReg(4, regVal); // set up volume in DAC5
writeSabreReg(5, regVal); // set up volume in DAC6
writeSabreReg(6, regVal); // set up volume in DAC7
writeSabreReg(7, regVal); // set up volume in DAC8
}

with:

void setSabreLBalance(byte regVal){
regVal += offSetVolRight;
writeSabreReg(1, regVal); // set up volume in DAC1
writeSabreReg(3, regVal); // set up volume in DAC3
writeSabreReg(5, regVal); // set up volume in DAC5
writeSabreReg(7, regVal); // set up volume in DAC7
}

void setSabreRBalance(byte regVal){
regVal += offSetVolLeft;
writeSabreReg(0, regVal); // set up volume in DAC2
writeSabreReg(2, regVal); // set up volume in DAC4
writeSabreReg(4, regVal); // set up volume in DAC6
writeSabreReg(6, regVal); // set up volume in DAC8
}

and use the next function to call both functions

void setSabreVolume(byte regVal)
{
void setSabreRBalance(byte regVal); // set volume of right channel
void setSabreLBalance(byte regVal); // set volume of left channel
}


The highlghted lines add the offset to the actual volume. This needs to be done for both the left and right channel, that's why there are now two functions to set the volume :)

No, not yet,, but think I found the error that caused the problem.

void setSabreVolume(byte regVal) {
void setSabreRBalance(byte regVal); // set volume of right channel
void setSabreLBalance(byte regVal); // set volume of left channel
}

Should be

void setSabreVolume(byte regVal) {
setSabreRBalance( regVal ); // set volume of right channel
setSabreLBalance( regVal ); // set volume of left channel
}
