Playing with a revised DTMF decoder MT88L70 3.3v power/GPIO, and audio matrix switching.
PCBWay Supports High Precision Advanced PCBs: https://www.pcbway.com/
PCBs at PCBWay https://www.pcbway.com/project/shareproject/DTMF_Decoder_3_3v_MT88L70_e9c3218d.html

Using a 3.3v powered DTMF decoder makes it easier to interface directly with ESP32 compared to the 5V version, which requires level shifting.
The ongoing phone line experiments may expand between just two node direct interfacing.
An MT8808 8x8 analog crosspoint switch is being tested to see if phone line audio can be routed between channels. This may enable a central coordinator to manage call requests and phone line routing between multiple nodes, including multi node party line call connections.

Here's a look at the MCP42100 digital potentiometer, how it works, and how to control it with an Arduino.

There's a couple of practical tests including a DMM resistance measurement of the pot as Arduino changes the wiper position, and an op amp circuit where the digital pot is used to control both the gain and the reference voltage on the op amp. The oscilloscope shows the impact of the digital pot on the waveform.

The TCA9548A I2C switch / multiplexer allows directing I2C traffic between one main bus and up to 8 other switchable buses. Two main advantages of being able to switch between separate buses are
1. Each bus can operate at a different voltage, allowing level translation between devices that talk to the same master controller
2. Devices that are configured for the same I2C address can't exist on a single bus without conflict but they can co-exist in the same system if they are isolated on separate buses.

Here's a demo project showing how to get the TCA9548A module working with Arduino, using 3 PCF8574 GPIO expanders. 2 of the expanders are configured for the same address so they are wired to 2 separate switch buses in order to interact with Arduino Uno over one main I2C bus.
