  2. Buzzer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buzzer

    A buzzer or beeper is an audio signaling device, [1] which may be mechanical, electromechanical, or piezoelectric (piezo for short). Typical uses of buzzers and beepers include alarm devices , timers , train and confirmation of user input such as a mouse click or keystroke.

  3. Whirligig - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whirligig

    A buzzer is often constructed by running string through two of the holes on a large button and is a common and easily made toy. A buzzer (buzz, bullroarer, button-on-a-string) is an ancient mechanical device used for ceremonial purposes and as a toy. It is constructed by centering an object at the midpoint of a cord or thong and winding the ...

  4. Electric bell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_bell

    An electric buzzer uses a similar mechanism to an interrupter bell, but without the resonant bell. They are quieter than bells, but adequate for a warning tone over a small distance, such as across a desktop. A buzzer or beeper is an audio signalling device, which may be mechanical, electromechanical, or piezoelectric.

  5. Function generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_generator

    In electrical engineering, a function generator is usually a piece of electronic test equipment or software used to generate different types of electrical waveforms over a wide range of frequencies. Some of the most common waveforms produced by the function generator are the sine wave , square wave , triangular wave and sawtooth shapes .

  6. Arduino - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arduino

    Arduino (/ ɑː r ˈ d w iː n oʊ /) is an Italian open-source hardware and software company, project, and user community that designs and manufactures single-board microcontrollers and microcontroller kits for building digital devices.

  7. Pulse generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse_generator

    A pulse generator is either an electronic circuit or a piece of electronic test equipment used to generate rectangular pulses. Pulse generators are used primarily for working with digital circuits ; related function generators are used primarily for analog circuits .

  8. Open collector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_collector

    Open emitter output exposes the emitter as the output. [2]For an NPN open emitter output, the collector is connected to the positive voltage rail, so the emitter outputs a high voltage when the transistor is on and is hi-Z when off.

  9. Three-state logic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-state_logic

    The basic concept of the third state, high impedance (Hi-Z), is to effectively remove the device's influence from the rest of the circuit. If more than one device is electrically connected to another device, putting an output into the Hi-Z state is often used to prevent short circuits, or one device driving high (logical 1) against another device driving low (logical 0).
