I am able to make a buzzer sound by using digitalWrite, and basically setting it high, delaying a few microseconds, and then setting it low and delaying the number of microseconds I calculate that I need for the desired pitch. My problem is, how would I do something else while making the buzzer buzz…

The buzzers I have, will buz when a voltage is applied (no need for a frequency), so if yours are the same, you can turn on the data pin, and later turn it off when you are done listening to the buzzer. Now if you have a speaker, it's a different story.

Did you know you can play a song using your buzzer, jackwp ?

@mas, No I didn't know you could play a song using a buzzer. I did know you could play a tune, but never heard a buzzer singing before. Did you? This thread did not indicate that they wanted a "song" or a "tune", so I used the KIS principle to answer the question : "How to make the buzzer sound …

You answered the question but forgot the part where OP mentioned the word "pitch" and "frequency" in his explanation of the question.

It seemed to me that the OP (what's OP?) did not know that their buzzer would buzz without modulating it from arduino. Now they know that it will (if it is like my buzzers). KIS We need not get into a pissing contest. We are both right. (or maybe we are both wrong), no matter.

OP is a common short for Original Poster or thread starter. By Keeping It Simple, you might assume people know what you know. And assumptions are "dangerous". The way to the answer was given in the first reply and the OP (chris_ )explained that he was able to produce a beep but not the tone he wa…

OP = Original Poster. The one who started the thread.

Thanks Nick, Great, I learned what OP is, and hopefully did not piss of Mas. Have not heard from the OP, maybe sleep time, or they have a life, more outgoing than mine. LOL I am just not sure if you want to play a tune, or just buzz. Just buzz is a lot easier.
