FAQ

• Q: Why does the buzzer not buzz when connect directly to the power supply?
  • A: Because the buzzer is passive, only changed voltage signal can make it buzz. The active buzzer can buzz if only it is connected to the power supply.

• Q: Can the buzzer sing songs?
  • A: It can produce tunes do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, si of different frequency, which can make up songs. Please refer to Music Painting. If you want to play the music, you are supposed to have an audio decoding ship and a horn.

• Q: Why can't we select the songs when it is playing music?
  • A: Because the "Buzzer on-song" program block has integrated the code, it has internal delay. Only after it has executed the song can it execute other control command.
