The board presented here is a preamplifier for contact microphones that are used for amplifying the sound of musical instruments which do not contain electrical pickups, such as guitar and violins. Most contact microphones use a piezo element to convert vibration in the body of the...

Maxim Integrated MAX77501 Piezo Haptic Actuator Boost Driver is a high-efficiency controller driver for piezo haptic actuators. The driver is optimized for driving up to 2µF piezo elements. It can generate a single-ended haptic waveform of up to 110VPK-PK amplitude from a 2.8V to 5.5V...

Here's a tiny pcb that produces an annoying sound using a piezo buzzer and a ATtiny13 microcontroller. It uses an LED, piezo buzzer, ATTINY13 Atmel microcontroller, a very small amount of Arduino code, and a coin cell battery that should last about a week. Battery life could be...

Lucas Reed @ instructables.com has build a proximity alarm using Arduino and an ultrasonic sensor from Parallax. If a nearby object is approaching then the alarm will sound and an RGB LED will light up. He writes: An ultrasonic rangefinder and Arduino microcontroller will check for...
