telephone - Control the hardware of an old phone using a Raspberry PI


I have a very old phone (60 years old) and I want to control its part using a Raspberry PI:




  • Microphone & speaker from the head set

  • The bell

  • The dial wheel


I have the electric circuit but don't recognise all of the parts.

My question is now how I can achieve the following using the Raspberry PI:



  1. Detect the signal from the dial wheel


  2. Ring the bell

  3. Use the microphone and the speakerphone from the headset

  4. Detect when the headset was liftet from the hook


Additionally I don't understand all parts in the circuit:


e.g. what is this Pulse Icon is with the caption of 100 between 2 and 6


Update


I tried to decipher the circuit in order to be able to use the hardware of this phone. I used blue for the German color codes of my cables and green for the connectors:


schematic


simulate this circuit – Schematic created using CircuitLab



On the phone I have the following connectors:



  • M1: Microphone (red)

  • M2: Microphone (pink)

  • T1: Speaker (dark green)

  • T2: Speaker (light green)

  • a: Phone line?

  • b: Phone line?

  • E: Phone line?

  • W1 + W2 (bridged)


  • W3/1: green cable connected n times with red through J when dialled

  • 2: red

  • 3: blue

  • 4: yellow

  • 5: white


Update 2:


It sais 300 Ohm - 7000 W - 0.13 Ku Em on the two coils, which are used for the bells.


This is the acutal phone on the inside.

Answer



Take a look at this: https://www.sparkfun.com/tutorials/51 . They reverse engineered a rotary phone similar to yours. If you want some more detailed answers, you're going to have to explain exactly what you don't understand about the schematic.

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
