Lab Experiment Procedure:

Task 1 – Working with Buzzer (Piezo Speaker)

Hardware requirements

# Device Quantity
1 Arduino Board 1
2 BreadBoard 1
3 Buzzer 1
4 Resistor 220Ω 1
5 USB connector 1
6 Jumper Wires 10

Description
- A Piezo is an electronic piece that
converts electricity energy to sound. It is a
digital output device. You can make white
noise or even exact musical notes
(frequencies for musical notes) based on
the duration that you iterate between
HIGH and LOW signals.
- A Piezo is a directional piece, meaning
that it has a positive and negative pole.
- The positive pole should be connected to
the digital output pin that you allocate to
control the piezo and the negative pole
should be connected to Ground pin

// An example of using the buzzer

int buzzerPin = 12;

void setup()
{
pinMode(buzzerPin, OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(buzzerPin, HIGH);
}

void loop()
{
digitalWrite(buzzerPin, HIGH);
delay(2000);
digitalWrite(buzzerPin, LOW);
delay(2000);
}

Experiment Procedure

1. Connect the buzzer to Arduino with correct pin (PWM)

2. Write the code with Arduino IDE with the following requirements:
- Turn on/off the buzzer in 2s with highest volume

Task 2 – Controlling LED and buzzer via Serial communication

IUH. Lecturer – Le Ngoc Tran, Ph.D.

1. Connect one LED, buzzer, resistor and Arduino to Breadboard

2. Use Fritzing tool to draw the final circuit diagram
3. Write the code with Arduino IDE with the following requirements:
- Control the LED and buzzer via serial port (use Serial Monitor):
+ Type “led on” or “led off” turn LED on/off,
+ Type “buzzer on” or “buzzer off” to turn Buzzer on/off
+ Print “Invalid command” message in other cases
