MAKING A BUZZER
09/25/2019

An electronic buzzer is one of the first electronic projects that you will
typically build. The simplest variation consists of a circuit with a battery
buzzer and switch. The buzzer sounds when you close the circuit and stops
when you open the circuit. This is an ideal first project because it is simple
produces a verifiable result and is safe because it do not require a large
current. It can be completed primarily with common household items and
requires only a few special purchases. Strip about 1 cm of the insulation
from both ends of the wire with the wire stripper. Electrical wiring consists of
two individual wires that are separated by insulation. You will need to
completely remove the insulation from both wires.
Connect the wires on one end of the electrical wire to the battery
holder. Attach one wire to the positive terminal of the battery holder and the
other wire to the negative terminal. Wrap electrical tape around the two bare
wires on the battery holder. This will ensure that they do not touch each
other and create a short circuit attach the other ends of the wires to the
buzzer. Connect each wire to one of the buzzer’s terminals and wrap
electrical tape around the bare wires to keep them from touching. Test the
circuit by placing the battery in the battery holder. The buzzer should begin
sounding as soon as you install the battery.
Cut one of the wires in half at about the midpoint without cutting the
other wire. Strip about 1 cm from both ends of this wire. Press a thumbtack
slightly into each arm of the clothespin so that they touch when the
clothespin is closed. Wrap each end of the wire that you cut previously
around one of the thumbtacks and push the thumbtacks all the way through.
The buzzer should sound until you pinch the clothespin open.
