DTMF Shield

SKU: DFR0308

The DTMF Shield is a versatile module designed for Arduino and gadgeteer platforms, enabling users to decode dual-tone multi-frequency signals, also known as Touch-Tones, from telecommunication networks. With its audio connector, the shield captures frequencies emitted by phones when keys are pressed, allowing devices to interpret these signals accurately. By integrating with GSM, GPRS, and GPS shields, the DTMF Shield significantly extends Arduino's communication capabilities over phone landlines and mobile phones globally, as long as there is a GSM signal available. This module is invaluable for developers aiming to integrate phone signal decoding into their systems, offering a wide range of interaction possibilities between Arduino projects and telecommunication networks. Whether the goal is to develop innovative communication solutions or simply decode entertaining phone sounds, the DTMF Shield provides a comprehensive platform for exploring dual-tone multi-frequency signaling.

    For Gadgeteer module just connect the IDC 10; For Arduino shield here is the pin definiton

    DTMF Arduino
    Q1 12
    Q2 11
    Q3 10
    Q4 9
    STD 8
    SPK2 3
    SPK1 2

    Q1~Q4 and STD are part of the DTMF demodulation interface. These pins are required for this board SPK pins are for an optional DTMF modulation from arduino. Which requires an alternative library for tone generation, read below for more details
