Really fun project and great end result, although sucks you couldn't make use of the original bell.
I recently bought an AT&T Traditional 100 touch tone phone with a similar project idea in mind. Fun bonus: the model has a mute button, ringer volume switch, and redial. I really really want to be able to make use the original ringer, but I haven't got anywhere with the electronics.
Did you learn anything about activating the ringer with an arduino, or did you know from the beginning that you had to cut it due to space constraints?
- StavrosK 11y agoThis phone also has a two-state button, which I made into "force dial" (when you've already dialed some numbers) or "redial" if you haven't dialed anything. Someone did actually post a way to use the ringer, with a circuit that can convert the battery's 5V to 50V, but there is very very little space in the phone as it is, and there's no way to fit the ringer itself in, let alone the new circuit. I've made my peace with it, though!
