Electronic for ED1000 Interface

In old days a lot of electronic components are use to build a modulator and demodulator for Frequency-Shift-Keying (FSK). Today most of the work can be done in software.

A (USB) sound card is used to play and record the carrier frequencies and 5 electronic components adapts the audio signal to teletype ED1000.

With this USB sound card adapter the teletype can be connected to a Windows-PC, a Linux-PC, a Mac (not tested) or a Raspberry Pi (not tested). A USB sound card is available in online shops for about 10€. Using a PC or laptop the build-in sound card can be used also.

The line wires are used to send and receive at the same time like a MODEM on phone wires.

The bridge between pin 5 and 6 is for signaling a connected plug. May be high voltages can be used by teletype!

Some teletypes use a switch (relay) on pin 7 and 8 to signal paper end.
