TAM-TAM
TAM-TAM
is a sophisticated telephone answering machine that provides
everything commercial devices offer and more. Noteworthy features
include improved voice quality and increased storage capacity
over commercial machines. Additionally, Internet connectivity
enables convenient messaging in the form of SMS messages or
e-mails from anywhere in the world. Virtual answering machines
can be set up for four different users. A user-friendly interface
makes learning how to use this device and taking advantage of
its many special features easy for anyone, regardless of their
electronics savvy.
The
highly efficient system is designed around an LPC2138 microcontroller,
which features an ARM7 RISC processor. Built with a small handful
of components, TAM-TAM’s design is cost-effective. The thoughtful
inclusion of an external flash memory card and well-chosen algorithms
for nearly unlimited storage capacity of crystal-clear messages
contribute to the success of the design.
