The Piezoelectric Buzzers

The Piezoelectric Buzzers
A piezoelectric element (piezo for short), or buzzer, is a small, round
device that can be used to generate loud and annoying noises that are
perfect for alarms or for having fun.
The Piezoelectric Buzzers
#define PIEZO 9
#define del 100
void setup(){
pinMode(9,OUTPUT)
}
void loop(){
analogWrite(PIEZO, 128);
// 50 percent duty cycle tone to the piezo
delay(del);
digitalWrite(PIEZO, LOW);
// turn the piezo off
delay(del);
}
FUNCTION TONE()
tone( pin number, frequency in hertz);
• The pin number that you will use on the Arduino.
• The frequency specified in hertz. Hertz are cycles per second.
*/This code only generates a delay of 500 milliseconds between the
tone
tone( 9, 205, 500);
delay(1000);

#define PIEZO 9 void loop(){

#define led1 1 int Duration=250;

#define led2 3 tone(PIEZO, 242,Duration);

#define led3 10 digitalWrite(led1,HIGH);

#define led4 12 digitalWrite(led2,LOW);

void setup(){ digitalWrite(led3,LOW);

pinMode(PIEZO, OUTPUT); digitalWrite(led4,LOW);

pinMode(led1,OUTPUT); delay(500);

pinMode(led2,OUTPUT);
pinMode(led3,OUTPUT);

}
 PIEZO WITH 4 LED’S
Duration=125; digitalWrite(led3,HIGH);

tone(PIEZO, 192,Duration); digitalWrite(led4,LOW);

digitalWrite(led1,LOW); delay(500);

digitalWrite(led2,HIGH); Duration=250;

digitalWrite(led3,LOW); tone(PIEZO, 148,Duration);

digitalWrite(led4,LOW); digitalWrite(led1,LOW);

delay(500); digitalWrite(led2,LOW);
digitalWrite(led3,LOW);
Duration=250;
digitalWrite(led4,HIGH);
tone(PIEZO, 128,Duration);
delay(500);
digitalWrite(led1,LOW);
noTone(PIEZO); }
digitalWrite(led2,LOW);
CHALLENGE

• Try to write the last code with a loop.

The Piezoelectric Buzzers
#define PIEZO 3 // pin 3 is capable of PWM
int del = 500;
int melody[] = {262, 196, 196, 220, 196, 0, 247, 262};
int noteDurations[] = {4, 8, 8, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4};
// note durations: 4 = quarter note,
//8 = eighth note, etc.:
void setup(){
pinMode(PIEZO, OUTPUT);
for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++) {
int noteDuration = 1000 / noteDurations[i];
tone(PIEZO, melody[i], noteDuration);
int pauseBetweenNotes = noteDuration * 1.30;
delay(pauseBetweenNotes);
// stop the tone playing:
noTone(PIEZO);
}
delay(1000);
}
 Practice Exercise1:
We have a temperature sensor and a LED.
The serial monitor display the sensor value:
• If its between 5 and 15, the LED fade forward and
backward
• If its greater than 15, the LED blinks
Practice Exercise3:
using LED, piezo, Photo resistor, push buttons…

Write an Arduino program that reads the incident light

intensity from PhotoResistor:
• If the value is less than 50 the piezo should play a sound.
• The brightness of LED should be increased when the
incident light decreases, and vice versa.
• Nothing will happen before clicking on the push button.
