    Alot of questions for an easy piezo project!

    I've built my (fishing) device using basic wiring, however to achieve a more perfect device I know I need to make a board with a timer. It functions as an alarm and when the lever is pressed the piezo gives a nice steady beep (except when the lever is hit too quickly). I'd like it to run off...

    Alot of questions for an easy piezo project!

    Evening Hero, Thank you very much for your assistance. It seems one of the links you provided I've already been heavily reading from! (The 'KPSec' website) The other, ABCof Electronics was very useful as well. It seems to regulate time on one of these devices you need to use specific...

    Alot of questions for an easy piezo project!

    Ouch, no replies!  :(  That's quite alright though as I know how helpful this forum can be provided I give enough details and I learn some of this myself.  So I spent a couple hours looking up information while I was at my in-laws yesterday.  I realize now that I can cut veroboard to suit my...

    Alot of questions for an easy piezo project!

    Hello everyone, First off I'd like to thank you for visiting the my thread. Each time I've come to this forum I've left with assistance and more knowledge and because of this forum in the last year I developed a working device for myself. But I'm sure you all know that when you personally build...

    Convert to produce a weak electric field

    Hello, Thank you all for the help in the past and the future. I was wondering, if someone could help me out with the name of what I am looking for so I can research more and maybe a few specifics if you know.  I am looking to make something fairly small, hopefully battery powered, which will...

    Question About Enclosures

    Hello Everyone, Thanks for all the assistance in the past and hopefully in the future as well. I have made a neat little device but I had to screw one part of it into the host because the enclosure could note support the lever switch in anyway. Does any one know of any odd shaped enclosures...

    Assistance with Pizo to Lever Switch

    Thanks for the reply Hero. I really appreciate. So essentially you are saying that I have this under control and just need a little faith in myself?  I realize this is hardly circuitry, just hooking up some wires - but when you are just going out and buying items with no other background info...

    Assistance with Pizo to Lever Switch

    Good evening everyone, I am little into the realm of electronics - but trying to use some simple pieces to make a few neat devices. With that said, I can put parts together and eventually figure things out, however I'd like to seek some assistance to make sure I am on the right track and also...

    Looking for Knowledge/Assistance

    Thanks gogo, that cleared up my question perfectly.  Assuming I cannot reconfigure my design I will have to go with the timer.   It definently sounds like a fun device to work with! Heck its exactly what I was asking for (taking a short 'pulse' and converting it to a longer one for purpose of...

    Looking for Knowledge/Assistance

    Thank you very much for the information hero, I appreciate it a lot. I will read up on all that and report back asap. Were you indicating I need to use the timer to allow a charge of 1 second or so or I need at least 1 second of contact to make this all work? A full second may be a problem...

    Looking for Knowledge/Assistance

    Back once again for help gentlemen. With these Piezo buzzers. If you are making something like I am where you want to make an indicator alarm - and not an electronic alarm... your sort of subject to random movements and what not and therefore I don't always get full pulses through my buzzer...

    Looking for Knowledge/Assistance

    Alex, One more thing. I hate to be an absolute pain but is there any way you could reccomend parts - or even a website or company for me to browse from.  I searched for piezo buzzers as Hero had suggested that appears to be what I need and also from your diagram it appears to be it as well. ...

    Looking for Knowledge/Assistance

    Thank you very much for that diagram Alex, I appreciate it a lot. So its really that simple? Wow. I am a fairly intelligent person and I did not think it would be too hard to construct after learning a bit about circuitry - building the boards, etc, but I did not think it would be so straight...
