Get Started in Electronics #5 - Active & Passive Buzzers w/ Arduino Uno

[@RandomTorok]

I've been monkeying around with the basic lessons and with this one I combined it with the previous lesson on buttons. I had 5 push buttons, so I programmed each one to play a different note. Then added a couple of RGBs to light up whenever I clicked a button. A light organ.

[@BV3D]

That's pretty cool! 😀

[@incognitomode9031]

Hey! I don't know if you will ever see this, but thank you for your explanations. Teachers, especially in coding, sometimes use random numbers and lines, expecting you to just know what is going on. So I really appreciate you explaining each line and number you use. Not just putting the number and leaving people to figure out what they mean. Thank you, sir.

[@williamsansom5861]

You're a great teacher. Never thought I'd get my head round this. Lock Down saviour :)

[@starstrykr2021]

This series has been extremely helpful! Thank you so much for doing these :)

[@BV3D]

Thank you, Ty! 👍

[@abdulamara7722]

what a legend! thank you for the time put in to this series. Loving it so far : )

[@darrenstettner5381]

I’ve been wanting to learn how to play with arduino stuff for a long time. These videos are great and I’m finally making progress. Please keep up the good work with making these tutorials.

[@piparmo]

This is the first of your explanations I have watched. I love how you identify the background information that is important to an understanding of the concept you are explaining and quickly and simply cover it as you go. At the ripe old age of 70 I'm just a beginner, but you just helped me build an alarm which goes off when I forget to close the cocks on the toilet in my boat, (which will most likely save me from sinking). Thanks, I'll be watching the rest of your videos.

[@JR-je7ce]

I know im abit late on this but can I just say thank you for making this tutorial. You're are easily one of the most engaging teachers I have come across you make the tutorials fun and I love your sense of humour

[@spikekent]

Bryan, your puns never get old, sadly the same can't be said for me lol. Now I know why all my backups make so much noise 😂

[@BV3D]

Haha! I'm old, too, Spike! Thanks so much for watching! 👍

[@tuxino]

I just acquired a differently branded but otherwise similar kit, and stumbled upon this video series just after. So far, I really enjoy your thoroughness in both explaining the electronics and code, and in demonstrating how it works including telling how to modify it. I also enjoy your humor, although I think you might have overdosed a bit from your dad joke supply mug this time. 😎

[@IngeniousDimensions369]

I love your humor.🔥🔥

[@brianpartell5918]

I have downloaded your Arduino work station , I liked it so much I printed a couple of them . Oh yeah, good videos

[@zimmy1958]

Typical Bryan humor lol Thanks again. Take care my friend.

[@BV3D]

Thank you Zimmy! I'm glad you enjoyed it! 😃

[@nathanjon9586]

You have the best dad joke puns on KZbin. Thanks for the great tutorials.

[@declanoflynn1055]

More people need to know about your channel. You have taught me so much and I don't think I would have gotten into coding if it wasn't for your good quality and informative videos. keep it up!

[@TD3DMakes]

Excellent video Bryan 🎶 Also I think you reached a record for puns in a single sentence 🤣. Thanks for sharing!

[@BV3D]

Hi Thierry! So many puns, so little time! Thank a bunch for watching! 😄

[@anokhautomation4453]

Very nice useful subject and tutorial.thanks for sharing.

[@callumparker6681]

Thanks for the video Bryan. The only complaint is that you only have so many arduino videos.

[@kidsstorytime6397]

[@saifthepenguin651]

You merits more subscribers and viewers, you're videos are so qualitative !

[@SteveH-TN]

Really appreciate your providing these excellent lessons.

[@perryoz636]

Can't wait for the next video! My friend and I are stuck on servo because for some reason our boards won't connect or power up through our computer ports at all. And the software doesn't even give us the option to choose a port now!!! hopefully we can see how to trouble shoot it soon and see how you run it in the next lesson.

[@davidolson7575]

Glad to see you’re doing these again Brian awesome

[@BV3D]

Hi David! I'm trying to release them once per month! 👍

[@sinderbloq6466]

As much as I try to fight it, I couldn't help but crack a smile at your jokes at the end

[@onerazz3115]

very good video ,easy to understand and fallow.a bit of humor is always good.

[@BV3D]

Hi One Razz! I'm glad you liked it -- and thanks for watching! 😊

Great series. I'm learning so much Please keep them coming.

[@nortonshields8405]

you make learning fun - you are too funny!

I love the dad jokes :D (as well as the lessons)

[@Currandog754]

Your dad jokes are on fire

[@mr89firebird]

Okay, I need to not be drinking any liquids whatsoever when listening to you wrap up these lessons. I just about spewed water all over my project.

[@doverivermedia3937]

Hi Brian. Just working my way through your excellent tutorials. A truly well produced job. So thank you. Can I ask a stupid question ? What actual 'language' are we learning here ? Python ? C++ ? .. 🇬🇧

[@robylew2125]

Thanks Bryan! I'm a older senior 60^ that has been doing PLC programming before I retired. Learning the syntax and command functions of the open source Arduino language is daunting. You do make it easier to understand, but is there a source for that. I was very successful with low voltage control systems just using the voltage potential. I'm not able to write the code like I'm use to. Thanks again.

[@Kidge.6081]

i need a "laughing knee-slapper" emoji for the puns at the end. lol

[@daanenmudalli8130]

Thanks for all your episodes about arduino! I havent't seen all yet but i already learn many things!! But you can still improve things like explaining more about how the codes actually works....give more examples, you know !! But besides the videoes are great.

[@olw4196]

Super fun instruction

[@AhmedGowda]

Excellent, thank you!

[@BV3D]

You are welcome! 🙂

[@AhmedGowda]

I really liked this serious, looking forward to more videos, i was so excited and thought it’s a lot of project, I hope you consider creating more videos soon

[@nicolasquintanaariste6614]

Really helpful video. Love the jokes😂😂😂

[@uksuperrascal]

You should have held your clip on mic closer to the buzzer - I Had to turn sound full up to hear the buzzer via external 5 Watt amp - Also you did not need the Arduino to make the active buzzer work. As you said just apply a voltage, But note the active buzzer working voltage first before applying any voltage, you did not include the current draw specs of the buzzers ? as the Arduino has an out put current limit.

[@the3dfr]

got the spool organiser stl Bryan? great vid as usual

[@BV3D]

Hi Richard! I'm highlighting that one in next week's video! 😉

[@OthmanAlikhan]

Thanks for the video =)

[@dakotacarpenter7702]

So I did this lesson, then I found another on how to make the buzzer beep at random times, then I found a photoresistor lesson. Now I have a buzzer that beeps randomly when the lights are off and stays silent when they're on. Now I just need to pick my victim. During the day, no beeping. At night, random beeping. When they turn on the lights to find the beeping, no beeping!

[@tgard007]

appreciate you

[@cosmo9882]

Thank you.

[@BV3D]

Hi, Cosmo! You're very welcome! 😀

[@gabrielstrong2186]

Loving your Arduino intro to electronics series. Do you have an affiliate link for Amazon Australia? Also would you have a recommendation for a 3D printer for a novice that is still sufficiently functional and sufficiently sized to produce, at least, your Arduino work tray and that diffuser "crystal" for the the RGB LED project?

[@nortonshields8405]

is it possible to reprogram a wireless security camera/ smart plug using an arduino?

[@AndrewAHayes]

What do the Void statements signify?

[@BV3D]

That's the "return type" of the function. That tells the IDE that the function returns nothing. In other words, the type of thing it returns is nothingness. If the function returned an integer value--for example, if you had a function which performed a calculation on some numbers--its return type would be "int" instead of "void". 👍

[@a.rebeih56]

Is it possible to use analogWrite instead of digitalWrite? Therefore you could change the pitch on the active buzzer. Is this possible or did I miss something? I haven't tried on my own Uno because I didn't wanna destroy it.

[@tikav2411]

Cool video, really helpful for learning Arduino. Anyone know where I can buy one of those green "material boxes" like the one at 3:31? I want one!

[@BV3D]

Hi! That's one I 3D printed. The drawers fit into an empty spool from eSun. If you want to see the video where I made it, it's here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oprFd3xqesR2h7M All the files are linked in the description of that video.

[@tikav2411]

@@BV3D Hello! I don't have a 3D printer. Is there any chance that you print another one and I buy it? Thanks! :)

[@emilianoescalante4418]

Thankyou for the informative video. Quick question is what would have happened if you used the active buzzer for the time that you used the passive buzzer? Better yet can different tones be played through the active buzzer or is it fixed because of the internal oscillator.

[@matthewwilson7687]

I'd like the file for that tray you used out of a old filament roll? Can you share?

[@charliebowen4232]

Hello Bryan, Great video!! Hoping to buy that kit to try some of these projects! So, I have to ask... the bins/drawers under the Super starter kit!! STL?!?

[@BV3D]

Hi Charlie! Both of the parts bin things are featured in an upcoming video (probably next Monday, unless something comes up between now and then)! 😀

Hi Bryan, when I open the code for the passive buzzer lesson, there is an error stating, "pitches.h: No such file or directory". As such, the code will not load. Is there a solution? Thanks, Alan.

[@jangamer2971]

Backup your project friends! BIIP

[@502deth]

horrible, horrible, HORRIBLE puns aside...... first, surprised you didnt go into the "tone" function. but my main question..... in cases like this, i dont get the "int" thing. typing out the setting of int of buzzerpin on pin3 then continuously typing out buzzerpin a billion times in a sketch, why not just not assign an integer and type only "3" and save like 36 hours in programming? i get that, if you wanted to change the buzzer from 3 to.... 9 or whatever, you only have to change that one instance in the setup, but if your just typing out code for a quick example, it seems quite superfluous. am i missing something here?
