Using a Piezo Buzzer — SIK Circuit 11

Play a song with a piezo buzzer! Learn about the tone() function, musical frequencies, arrays for storing melodies, and how to create your own tunes.

Parts & Introduction

A piezo buzzer converts electrical signals into sound. Using Arduino's built-in tone() function, you can play specific musical frequencies. This sketch plays a simple melody using character arrays for notes and integer arrays for timing.

Parts Needed

  • 1x Arduino Uno + USB cable
  • 1x Breadboard
  • 1x Piezo Buzzer
  • 3x Jumper Wires

Hardware Hookup

Wiring Instructions

  1. Place the piezo buzzer in the breadboard. It has two pins — one marked with "+".
  2. Connect the positive pin (+) to Arduino Digital Pin 9 (PWM).
  3. Connect the negative pin to GND.

Tip: If the buzzer doesn't fit easily, try rotating it slightly to align with diagonal breadboard holes.

Test & Experiment

What You Should See

You won't see anything — but you'll hear a melody playing from the buzzer! The song plays once and stops.

Troubleshooting

  • No sound: The buzzer pins are easy to misplace on the breadboard. Double-check placement and make sure both pins have good contact.
  • Want it to stop: Pull the buzzer out while working on other things, plug it back in to test.

Experiments to Try

  • Remove the while(true){} line to make the song loop continuously.
  • Write your own melody by changing the notes[] and beats[] arrays.
  • Add more notes by expanding the frequency() function with sharps and flats.
  • Use a button (from Circuit 5) to trigger the melody on demand.
