dtmfout problem

[lerameur]

I finished my low pass filter but I realized one other thing wrong with my circuit.
I do not read good frequencies with my scope, maybe it is because of DTMF, this is the first time working with this this. I posted a screen capture of my scope while the dtmfout id dialing 5 constantly.

The scope shows under 10hz... is this a good output for dtmf ?
is this good for dtmf, I do not get any better result with my low pass filter added..

Try to connect a small speaker to the pin... I usually use normal external PC-speakers with built in amplifier and just connect GND straight and a capacitor in serie with the pin for the signal wire. Then you can compare 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 from the PIC with the beginning of Homer Simpson's phone number 555- dialed on your normal phone.

Some signals is really hard to measure with a scope.... plan B which I also tend to use alot is to take a normal windows audio sampling program and use the PC microfon to sample it. Most softwares allows the wave to be shown and you can also zoom in and out... here you can try to call Homer again to get a reference.

Who will go crazy first? You or your neighbour?

Don't call Moe......

Are you set for AC or DC coupling on the 'scope?

[lerameur]

I tried both DC and Ac and I get the same result, ground coupling gives me nothing.

lerameur, Attached is the DTMF filter I use on the remote links I have designed and the repeater controller as well as the 6 channel voter for an amateur radio system here in detroit. Try it....
