#136307 - If the buzzer draws lots of current... Responding to: ???'s previous message |
...then you could try this circuit:
When P1.1 goes low, the transistor turns-on and the buzzer makes noise. No more than 100mA should flow through the shown transistor, so a current limiting resistor (Rp) was added. If, on the other hand, the current is small enough even without Rp, then you can omit it. Also shown is a free-wheel diode, which prevents damage from the circuit, if the buzzer contains a high inductance. Kai |

| it might prove interesting ... | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| Because you took a NPN instead of PNP... | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| will try this | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| kai | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| I would use a PNP | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| Do yourself a favor ... try it as he suggests! | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| we all did some such thing ONCE, I believe | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
