You will soon begin to realize that I cannot stay idle. I make things when I'm not idle.
Application for MEGA BREADWanting some kind of sounds available on our Robotics platform the MEGA BREAD, I ripped apart an old laptop and rescued the little speakers out of it. Please do not hook this power amp up to the tiny Piezo speakers, no clue what would happen, but it would probably be a fantastic light show. Giggle.
This is the kind that I rescued. Note the 8 Ohm 0.7 Watt markings on the back.
Soldering both of the grounds together, and then 2 speaker inputs is what you want to have. The two soldered grounds will actually be going to the +5 Volt supply, these NPN transistors work on the negative side of things, like a switch on the Negative battery terminal and not on the positive. That is the easiest way I can explain it.
Here is a short video with the amps working. At least a 75% rise in volume and clarity was also increased slightly.
