£20-250 GBP

Paid on delivery
I would like to create the following device: An old style rotary telephone is to be altered so that when the handset is picked up, a message is played down the earpiece. This message is only played when the handset is picked up. The phone should be powered by batteries. The message should be able to be changed. The phone will have no other function. The microphone will not do anything - the message is entirely 1 way. Example of phone style: http://www.amazon.co.uk/GPO-746-Rotary-Telephone-Black/dp/B008MV7O8K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1445157135&sr=8-1&keywords=rotary+telephone

I have over 27 years experience in electronics design and 14 years in software. I have done a lot of work for BT in the past and I am very familiar with the old 746 phone. My proposal is a battery powered device that can fit in a small plastic enclosure, it will have a connection for the phone either screw terminals for the old 746 wiring or a BT socket for a converted 746. The message will be stored on a micro SD card and in WAV format and can easily be changed from any computer with a SD card reader. For my bid price I will provide a working prototype of the electronics and a 746 phone if needed. I am based in Deeside, North Wales.

Hi, Should be no porblems in executing this project, I have many years experience in microcontroller design and construction. A few questions though. The audio quality will be limited by the earpiece element used in the phone handset, is that a problem? How long will the audio segment be? Do you have the phone at hand or will that be part of the the contract? Do you want the assembly rechargable? Regards and good luck with the project James Harrison-Smith

A dedicated audio chip will be used to achieve the desired results. The chip can connect to the computer via USB and you can drag and drop audio files as it is a USB storage. The storage is 16MB, which enough to store messages that are hours longs. When the handset is lifted, the chip will be triggered to play the chosen message. There is an option to play multiple messages in order or random. The unit will be powered with a 3.7V 500mAh LiPo battery. The battery can be recharged using the USB port. Other powering option can be done is desired, such as AAA alkaline or rechargeable. The additional components are very small, can be fitted within the rotary telephone. A small cut will be done on the back to fit the USB port. An optional power switch can be added. The project will be done in the following steps: 1. Build a working prototype without rotary phone. A ON/OFF switch will be used to model phone handset 2. A rotary telephone will be modified 3. Modified rotary telephone send to you. An instruction document will be done and sent as well. Thank you for considering me.
