Phone line interface
Hello everyone!
I built the phone line interface described in the "Basic Stamp II
Applications Notes" manual (using the 600 ohm transformer, Sidactor,
zener diodes, etc).
The DTMFOUT instruction is generating tones, but the phone system
does not recognize them - I continue to get a dial tone. I stuck a
transistor in the circuit to amplify the volume slightly, but to no
avail.
I also tried varying the DTMFOUT ontime and offtime parameters -
again no luck.
Anybody have any suggestions? I am using the BS2 chip.

BS2 circuit?
You should use the following sequence of operations. Close the relay
contacts to make the phone circuit in an off hook state. Wait 2 seconds for
dial tone signal from the Central Office. After dial tone signal is heard
then you can go into a DTMF signalling mode. The circuit does work.

Yes, touch tone phones work. After I know the BS2 has dialed, I pick
up the phone and there is still a dial tone. If I then hit the reset
on the stamp board, I can here the tones over the phone, but the
dial tone remains. If I hit one of the phone buttons, the dial tone
stops when the phone system recognizes the tone generated by the
phone.
I used a transformer from Digi-Key (MT4112-ND) instead of the Jameco
(117760) but they are both 600 ohm telephone coupling transformers.

a dial tone from the central office until then. When you push a button on a
phone, the line is interrupted and that signals the system to start
listening for the tones. That is why your tones are being ignored.

button on the phone - it generates a Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency sound
the phone system recognizes. The first tone recognized by the system
(i.e. the first button pushed) interrupts to dial tone and the
system waits until a correct number of tones is heard.
I'm not sure what you are trying to say?!?
There are sixteen tone pairs, DT-MF (Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency):
1 2 3 A - 697 Hz
4 5 6 B - 770 Hz
7 8 9 C - 852 Hz
* 0 # D - 941 Hz
Column-1 (i.e. 1,4,7,*) is 1209 Hz
Column-2 (i.e. 2,5,8,0) is 1336 Hz
Column-3 (i.e. 3,6,9,#) is 1477 Hz
Column-4 (i.e. A,B,C,D) is 1633 Hz
This is the 'touchtone', a 4x4 arrangement of four 'high'
frequencies (columns) and four 'low' frequencies (rows). Therefore
any button pressed will emit 2 tones to create the tone pair.
i.e. pressing the button 6 will emit tones 770Hz and 1477Hz.

same problem. So, I guess you need to take the serial capacitor out from the
circuit. Also, I didn't use the Sidactor in the circuit.

I tried omitting the serial capacitor and I tried using a 10
microfarad electrolytic cap instead.
The interesting thing is that I used a telephone recording device
and examined the generated tones in Nero Wave Editor. The tones from
the phone are well defined and regular - the tones from the basic
chip are ragged and irregular - the peaks and valleys vary - looks
like noise.
I tried a different BS2 stamp and got the same result.
I also tried FREQOUT commands instead of DMTFOUT - same story.
FREQOUT 6,200,770,1336 '5
PAUSE 50
FREQOUT 6,200,852,1336 '8
PAUSE 50
FREQOUT 6,200,770,1336 '5
etc...

phone wires (Tip and Ring). I notice sometimes that on some touch
tone phones (Cheap pieces of junk), they will exhibit the same
problem you are experiencing. I will get a dial tone but when I press
any buttons to dial out, it fails to "Break" dial tone. When I
switched the polarity of the two main phone wires it then worked
correctly.

Central Office did not hear your DTMF signals, or invalid digits were
received and ignored by the CO DTMF register. Dial tone is removed from the
line after the first digit is received in the register. A requirement of the
transformer you selected is the winding facing the CO line should be able
to accept 20 ma to 100 ma of line current and not have the transformer
inductance saturate because of the DC line current.
A requirement of the CO register for DTMF signals is to have the DTMF tone
present for a minimum of 40 millisecond and then a interdigital 40 ms
silent interval.
It is necessary to use the .001uf capacitor across the transformer secondary
to bypass the high frequency components. Hope this helps.
