Matrix - Buzzer
Contents
1 Introduction
- The Matrix-Buzzer is a passive buzzer. To drive this buzzer an oscillating source generating 2K - 5K square waves is needed.
- It can be used in electronic devices that need sound generators.
2 Features
- 3 PIN interface
- PCB dimension (mm): 16 x 24
- Pin Description:
Pin | Description |
V | Supply Voltage 5V |
G | Ground |
S | PWM Input |
3 Basic Device Operation
A passive buzzer will not tweet if DC signals are used; instead, you need to use square waves whose frequency is between 2K and 5K to drive it. If you use GPIO signals to drive it you need to pull the GPIO high first and then low to generate oscillation. The oscillation frequency is generated by the time in which GPIO signals turn from high to low. The buzzer will generate different sounds based on different frequencies.

5 Compile & Run Test Program
Boot your ARM board with Debian and copy the matrix code:
$ apt-get update && apt-get install git $ git clone https://github.com/friendlyarm/matrix.git
If your cloning is done successfully a "matrix" directory will be generated.
Compile and install Matrix:
$ cd matrix $ make && make install
Run test program:
$ matrix-pwm
Note: this module is not plug and play therefore before running the module please make sure it is connected to an ARM board.
Here is what you should observe:
Using default config: channel=0 freq=1000Hz duty=500 Press enter to stop PWM
You can hear the buzzer beeping. The range of the duty cycle is 0 ~ 1000. When you hit "enter" the buzzer will be stopped.
6 Code Sample
This Matrix code sample can work with all the ARM boards mentioned in this module's wiki. The name of this code sample is "matrix-pwm". Here is its source code:
int main(int argc, char ** argv) { int Hz, duty, board; if ((board = boardInit()) < 0) { printf("Fail to init board\n"); return -1; } system("modprobe "DRIVER_MODULE); signal(SIGINT, intHandler); if (argc == 4) { // Usage:matrix-pwm channel freq duty[0~1000] pwm = atoi(argv[1]); Hz = atoi(argv[2]); duty = atoi(argv[3]); } else { Hz = 1000; duty = 500; printf("Using default config: channel=%d freq=%dHz duty=%d\n", pwm, Hz, duty); } if (PWMPlay(pwm, Hz, duty) == -1) { printf("Fail to output PWM\n"); } printf("Press enter to stop PWM\n"); getchar(); PWMStop(pwm); system("rmmod "DRIVER_MODULE); return 0; }
