 		 #121761 - forgot to mention: cookbook was for a piezo buzzer
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Kai said:
Not necessarily. If the buzzer is a piezo you don't need a transistor.


Yes, you're right. but... =) The majority of piezo buzzers I've seen need about 30-35mA to sound clear (at the specified frequency). They may work driven directly from the MCU, but may not sound as expected (if that's important)...

Kai said:
Yes, but if the buzzer contains a coil, then you should add a free wheeling diode!


Thanks for adding... (I forgot to say that I was bearing a piezo buzzer in mind).

Kai said:
Again, we should exactly know what type of buzzer Eugene is using, first.


No doubt. Come on Eugene, please help us!! =)

Does logic "low" represent 0V?            01/01/70 00:00      
   The diagram does not work            01/01/70 00:00      
      What current are we talking about?            01/01/70 00:00

      Yes, but...            01/01/70 00:00      
         bear in mind            01/01/70 00:00      
            Of course, but...            01/01/70 00:00

                     Please do as I have asked: connect the buzzer            01/01/70 00:00      
               What you tell is confusing...            01/01/70 00:00      
                  As mentioned by Kai Klaas            01/01/70 00:00

   Type of buzzer            01/01/70 00:00      
      who knows how much power, how big spikes            01/01/70 00:00      
      Again...            01/01/70 00:00      
         Yeah            01/01/70 00:00      
            Try this!            01/01/70 00:00      
               just guessing            01/01/70 00:00      
                  guessing the current is below 5A...            01/01/70 00:00      
                     then what if it is 1uA            01/01/70 00:00      
                        Sorry.            01/01/70 00:00      
                     We just do not want to guess!!            01/01/70 00:00      
                        Sorry.            01/01/70 00:00      
                           No need to appologize, dear Leonardo...            01/01/70 00:00
