Responding to: ???'s previous message
hi kai,

ok, that worked, except i had to remove the base-resistor and 5V supply at the base (using the middle schematic). now the buzzer buzzes pretty loudly =)

when i used your schematic as is, for some reason, it would buzz for about a second, then stop buzzing. i even tried using a while loop to keep p1.1 high, but still it buzzed for only a second and then it would stop, so i connected the base of the NPN directly to p1.1, and didnt use the 5V+base resistor part of the schematic.

thanks!

   ok...            01/01/70 00:00      
      Numerous options ...            01/01/70 00:00
