Upload the code to the Arduino board and open the serial monitor to view the status of the buzzer and the potentiometer value.

This delay controls the rate at which the potentiometer value is read and the buzzer state is updated. The delay() function will pause the execution of the loop() function for a specified number of milliseconds, which in this case is 100ms. This can be added after the Serial.println() statement in the loop() function.

Add a delay() function to control the rate of updates.

Print the state of the buzzer and the potentiometer value on the serial monitor using the Serial.print() function.

You can also map the potentiometer value to a frequency range using the map() function. If the potentiometer value is greater than the threshold, turn on the buzzer using the tone() function, and if it is less than the threshold, turn off the buzzer using the noTone() function.

Set a threshold value for the potentiometer.

In the loop() function, read the analog value from the potentiometer using the analogRead() function and store it in a variable.

Also, set the pin mode of the buzzer pin as OUTPUT.

In the setup() function, initialize the serial communication using the Serial.begin() function and set the baud rate.

Include the following library at the beginning of the sketch: #include.

Open the Arduino IDE and create a new sketch.

Connect the potentiometer to an analog pin of the Arduino, such as A0, and connect the piezoelectric buzzer to a digital pin of the Arduino, such as D8.

This charge will eventually overcome the protection diodes built into the GPIO pin (or any transistor) and destroy it! The diode blocks that charge loop and saves your chips. This will be heard as a slowly diminishing volume from the buzzer. This may be the most important part of the circuit! When oscillating, the buzzer (whether magnetic or piezo) acts like an inductor and will accumulate a charge over time. A MOSFET is much higher impedance than an NPN transistor and should not be left floating.Īdditionally, you want to add a diode between the (+) and (-) terminals on the buzzer.

If you use a MOSFET you want to change this from a low-ohm series resistor to a high-ohm pull-down resistor - 4.75K or 10K is fine.

Voltage thrills, current kills and resistors limit current.

The resistor is to limit the current going through the transistor and helps keep both your Arduino and the transistor healthy. The transistor is providing two functions it's potentially amplifying the signal (if the (+) positive side of the buzzer is at a higher voltage than the Arduino) and it's also isolating (partially) that voltage from the Arduino. Also, if you use a regular NPN transistor, you should also have a small resistor between the Arduino and the transistor base.

When driving a passive buzzer, you should always have the signal output from the Arduino go to a transistor tied between the ground and the (-) negative side of the buzzer. I know that buzzers can be used to generate melody using the tone() function but I'm not sure if I can use them to play wav files using PWM output. The sketch I'm using is based on TMRpcm library and PWM output #include Īt first I could play the music with the speaker but then it stopped working and because I don't have enough skill to make one myself, I would like to know if I can use a buzzer for that. I have developed an Arduino program that plays a WAV file from the SD card using a speaker.
