Arduino Project: Generating Sound with a Passive Buzzer

In this Arduino project, we will be using a passive buzzer to generate sound. Similar to the active buzzer example, you will need to connect the buzzer to the Arduino. The buzzer has a positive “+” pole, which can be connected using a red wire (a good habit to follow). Connect the negative “-” wire to the GND on the Arduino and the “+” wire to a digital output pin. In this case, we will be using pin #8....

Electronic Components: Buzzers

Buzzers are electronic components that are used to generate sound. In this blog, we will explore the different types of buzzers and their functionalities. Active Buzzers Active buzzers are a type of buzzer that have additional logic compared to passive buzzers. They require a direct current (DC) connection and are more expensive than passive buzzers. To generate sound with an active buzzer, you need to connect a 0V wire and a signal wire, alternately switching between high and low voltage levels at different frequencies based on the desired sound....
