These
speakers stay flush to the ceiling when not in use or are being used for
background music.
When
used for home theater, they receive a signal which tells them to deploy and
drop down into a more appropriate listening position where they are aimed
at the listening position.

This is a SolidWorks model of a printed circuit board that I
designed which provides the required 12vdc constant power to the speakers
and can receive either a 12v old or 120 volt signal from a surround sound
amplifier. When this signal is received the board send
a 12vdc control signal to each speaker telling ti
to deploy. When this control signal is not present the board removes the
control voltage from each speaker causing it to retract.

This is an assembled but not soldered prototype of
the board that I cnc machined. I didn't have any single sided 1/16” board
so I used a piece of 0.070” double sided then machined off the top layer of
copper to make the prototype for testing.

I designed up this enclosure to mount the PCB in so that
it can be mounted to the wall up in the attic to control the speakers. I
will use some 3 conductor cable to wire each speaker to the control box

I'm using one ac power inlet to provide switched and
fused AC to the internal 12 VDC 4A power supply that provides the constant
12v to each individual speaker.
The second AC input module is used to connect the
Receivers auxiliary AC outlet to the speaker control board to signal the
speakers to deploy.
There is also a 12vdc trigger input available for remote
control also.

Fuses
are on order. The speakers require ½ amp fuses. I need to measure the
control leg to see how much current all of the speakers want, I suspect
this current to be very low but will have to measure it to know for sure.

Here you
can see how the power supply fits into the bottom of the case and the wire
routing up to the PCB. Phoenix Pluggable connectors are used to connect the
leads to the PCB. Other than the double faced tape, replacement of the power
supply should be easy if the need arises.

Here are some shots of machining
(isolating) the traces on the mill. I am using a 3/32” 2 flute drill mill
for the engraving. It is sufficient for this rudimentary PCB but wouldn't
work very well if the traces were significantly smaller.
Doing it this way saves
a bunch of hand wiring if I were to prototype it in the conventional
manner. Plus, if I ever need to build more, it will really pay off having
a PCB, even if its a
DIY version.

|

|
I was too
lazy and in a hurry to setup the different drills so I just used a 1/32” carbide end mill to interpolate all of the
holes. This increased the machining time slightly but saved time finding
and setting up different drill bits.
The whole machining operation took less than 20
minutes.
