![]() ![]() The people who try to help with your pro… If you don’t follow the guidelines all that happens is there is a long exchange of posts while we try to get you to tell us what we need in order to help you, which is frustrating for you and frustrating for us. Being new here you might think this is having rules for the sake of rules, but that is not the case. Please read and follow the instructions below. This guide explains how to get the best out of this forum. How to get the best out of this forum Installation & Troubleshooting Please take a few moments to Learn and Use The Forum The receive chain is a series of tuned amplifers with some sort of detector (amplitude in this case) at the MERGED. The transmitter is simply an untuned "high voltage" differential output to the piezo. Whether or not this is appropriate for your application, the circuit shows the general flow. The time required to let echos die away limited throughput to about 100 baud. 10 ms from start of pulse to start of next pulse is a "0" and 15 ms is a "1", or some such. The best scheme I tried was pulse position based, e.g. In an indoor space, at least, echos are persistent and not well constrained so coding on pulse duration didn't work well and this is probably also an issue for phase modulation. The piezo transducers are highly resonant so frequency shift keying didn't work well. I bit banged the transmit with digitalWrite() and delayMicroseconds(), but the toneAC() library would also work to generate a differential signal.įor the receiver I simply tapped off the "Signal" net at pin 10 of the microcontroller and interpreted this in code. To transmit, one sets "HVOff" low and sends the differential signal on Tx1/Tx2. I removed the OTP microcontroller entirely, but you really only need to isolate pins 12,13,14 to control the transmitter. (Link to schematic of the version I used) For both the transmit and receive side I used a modified HC-SR04 ultrasonic echo locator, so a 40 kHz piezo device. # include "pitches.A while back I did some experiments in ultrasonic serial communications. The pitches library is not found in the Arduino IDE but you can download the ZIP file from Github and include the library in the Arduino IDE by clicking in the menu line: Sketch -> Include Library -> Add. If you take a look into the source code of the library you see that the library is nothing else than a lookup table for different notes to their frequency. You could now use the tone function and define the connected output pin, the frequency and the duration of the output generation, but if you do not know the frequency of different notes, we can also use the pitches library from Mike Putnam. Instead we use the Arduino tone function to generate a square wave of the specified frequency (and 50% duty cycle). ![]() Therefore we can not use the analog write function, because this function has a fixed frequency of 500Hz. To create a melody the passive buzzer needs an AC signal where we can define the frequency. Let me know in the comment section if you know the melody that we create in this example. The passive buzzer has the advantage that we can not only create a tone, but also a melody with different frequencies. The digital I/O pin of the Arduino, EPS8266 or ESP32 microcontroller is therefore connected to the gate of the MOSFET with a resistor of 220Ω in series, because the Arduino operation voltage of 5V or even the 3.3V operation voltage of the ESP8266 or ESP32 would damage the transistor. Otherwise we were not able to switch off a load that has a higher voltage than the control voltage. Low-side switch: The transistor is on the low (ground) side of the circuit and the buzzer is connected on the high (5V or 3.3V) side.NPN transistor: Because we want to turn the active or passive buzzer on by setting the digital pin of the microcontroller HIGH.In my case I use the IRLZ44 NPN MOSFET as low-side transistor to control the buzzer. The solution is to use a transistor and divide between the control signal and the power consumption. But if we want to use magnetic buzzers with a current consumption higher than 20mA we have to find a different power supply than the digital I/O pin of the microcontroller. Piezo buzzer have a current consumption lower than 20mA and could therefore be powered by Arduino microcontroller as well as the ESP32. ![]()
