Tiny  Metronome Circuits Diagram

Notes:

  • Q1 & Q2 provide linear frequency operation of IC1 following P1 resistance variation.
  • Q3 was added in order to obtain a louder click, similar to clockwork metronomes.
  • A 12V micro battery was used to obtain a higher output power and more compactness.
  • Rotate P1 fully towards R2, then set R1 to obtain 40 beats per minute (compare with another metronome).
  • Rotate P1 fully towards R3, then set R4 to obtain 208 beats per minute.
  • Finally mark the entire scale with the usual metronome steps, as follows:
    40 - 42 - 44 - 46 - 48 - 50 - 52 - 54 - 58 - 60 - 63 - 66 - 69 - 72 - 76 - 80 - 84 - 88 - 92 - 96 - 100 - 104 - 108 - 112 - 116 - 120 - 126 - 132 - 138 - 144 - 152 - 160 - 168 - 176 - 184 - 192 - 200 - 208.
