HITPOINT piezo sounder 28mm, 12V, 3.5kHz, 95dB with wire for panel mounting Technical Data: Product Information: Related Components of this Product. Having two voltage options provides two different levels of SPL available, which is useful for applications where multiple levels of sound volumes are beneficial. Same/Next day: 0 - 2 working days** Delivery Chargesįree delivery exclusions apply to some bulky and large items. To increase flexibility, two different boost output voltages can be selected by using the GPIO11V and 15.6V in this caseto give 22V PP or 31V PP across the piezo sounder. Standard/Road Freight: 2 - 5 working days* Few people will figure it out.Your order can be delivered to anywhere throughout mainland Australia by standard (road) freight delivery. Unless the lock is used in an enviroment where many people are aware of the unique solution it will quite sequre and appear as magic. Distortion of this crystal occurs when a stress is applied to the element, either thermally, mechanically or electrically. The question can be some simple math-problem like "knock twice the output minus one". Piezo Sounder The Technology and Operation of Piezo SounderBASIC PRINCIPLESA piezoelectric ceramic element is a sintered body of many crystals (Poly-crystals).
#Piezo sounder code#
The security is weak since the code may be heared by another person, but that could be worked around by adding an LED och why not a knocking solenoid that can "ask a question" that should be answered before the door is unlocked. The "secret knock" project above is definitely interesting. Since my application is about inputing data similar to morse code it may be tricky. My simple test-circuit can tell the difference between short taps and slightly longer press but I guess the ability to give a longer pulse will be reduced when I add the bleeding resistor. It reacts slightly different to the tapping now and I guess it´s because the function is so critical without additional resistors. Thank´s for your feedback! That "secret knock" sure was a fun little project! I see it has a 1MOhm resistor in parallel with the piezo speaker and I will try that next time I work with my project.ĭuring the weeks that have passed since my first simple tests something with my circuit have changed by it self. So, anybody with some experiences on this subject? I also need to read the "piezo-button" via port-change interrupt while the AVR is in sleep and my RTC wakeup frequency is 1Hz (but may be increased to 16Hz maximum) since the application needs to be extremely low-power. To get maximum sound level I have it connected between PB1/OC1A and PB2/OC1B to get twice the voltage swing (using the ports as a H-bridge) than if connected between a single port and VCC/GND. I intend to use the piezo disc both as a push-button and speaker in the same application. Perhaps a less critical way to handle the piezo-speaker as a push-button is to connect a high-ohm resistor in parallel with the piezo disc, but I guess that will put me in the same problem as when I try to read the disc too short after it have been "reseted". I suspect the reading is improved by some (uncontrolled) bias from the leakage-current but I need to do more experiments to know for sure. It takes several tens of milliseconds before I can securely read the "button" as pushed after each "reset" of the disc.
I solved this problem by repetitive short-circuiting the piezo but the timing seems to be a bit critical. There seems to be some leakage currents from the port, slowly charging the piezo disc until the AVR reads it as "1". Since the disc is capacitive the input is floating slowly. This program will play pre-programmed tunes through a piezo sounder connected to output pin B.1, then play a user defined tune composed with the PICAXE. When hooking up the piezo disc to the AVR I got a quite good push-button. But like I said in the beginning, I like minimalistic design!
#Piezo sounder serial#
Is there a risk that the energy may kill the AVR-port in a while? I guess such a risk will be cured by adding a tiny resistor in serial with the piezo speaker without losing too much sound level when used as a speaker. The energy produced is however very low and I expect the protective diodes in the AVR-port will clamp the voltage securely. The voltage delivered by the piezo speaker could easily reach 5-10 volts when pushing hard or tapping fast. Before I proceed with my experiments I´d like to see if anyone else have came up with the same idea and if there may be some danger for the AVR chip.īefore connecting the AVR I made some meassurements with the oscilloscope. Today I made a first attempt to use a tiny piezo speaker as a push-button.
