Tv audio damper with watchdog

arduino

The biggest problem is the instability of the microphone due to electrical/static noises or input voltage fluctuations. As example, if the audio goes above the hardware threshold, the output signal of the microphone will constantly remains above the setted threshold resulting in errors. The only way to avoid this (except using a better quality microphone amplifier?) is to restart the device. For this reason, a whatchdog is implemented. future improvements: - choosing threshold and time directly on the board - implement an automatic procedure to record the tv-controller signal leading the use to every kind of tv. - find a safe way to higher the volume to a fixed level - find a hardware design to optimize the audio uptake from tv
