Does anyone know the type of buzzer used on the BB2? I think that mine is broken because there is a lot of distortion so I’m trying to find a replacement.
It’s a piezo element. It’s good for beeps but not much else. What sort of commands are you sending it?
Hi.
Thanks fro the reply
Since I’m new at this I’m using a snippet off the basic micro pro manual
…
…
note1 con 1000
note2 con 2000
note3 con 3000
dur con 1000
sound p1,[dur\note1,dur\note2,dur\note3]

This is suppose to produce 3 tones with distinct 1Khz,2Khz and 3KHz frequencies. I can hear the tones but they are really distorted.
Do you have a part number for the buzzer or know where I can source it ?
I just tested the code and it sounds pretty clear. Are you using any other code with it. I know Hservo will add some distortion. Other hardware commands can adversely effect the sound command. Also which IDE are you using? I’m not advising using anything except 8.0.1.7. I assume you have changed the pin to 9 for the Bot Board right.
I get the boards made in large quantities and I do not know the actual part number for the speaker element. I will try to get it.
As I said, I’m new at this so I’m trying to learn a few commands at a time before I try to dig in the good stuff. The only commands that I’m using are the one that I posted and yes I did change the pin number to P9. The IDE that I’m currently using is ATOM-Pro IDE 08.0.1.3(do you think that it could be the IDE ?).
It would be great If you could get me a part number or a source for the part.
Thanks for your time
Uninstall that one and install 8.0.1.7.

Let us know if it changes anything.
I just tried out the new IDE and the distortion is still there. Thanks anyway.
