====== Adding a buzzer ======
This guide shows how to add a piezo buzzer to a Crazyflie 2.0 prototype deck and control it using the parameters from the Crazyflie Python client.

====== What you need ======
For this hack you will need:
  * Soldering iron
  * Piezo buzzer
  * [[projects:crazyflie2:expansionboards:proto|Crazyflie 2.0 prototype deck]]
  * [[projects:crazyflie2:expansionboards:breakout|Crazyflie 2.0 breakout deck]] (optional, just needed for testing different buzzers)
  * Some wire

====== Building ======
To get extra volume out of the buzzer we will use differential-drive using PWM on two pins, each connected to one terminal of the buzzer. This will give a -3V to 3V swing instead of 0-3V between on/off.

The buzzer should be connected to the [[projects:crazyflie2:expansionboards:index|TX2/RX2 pins on the expansion header]] which also has PWM functionality using TIM5 channel 3/4.

1) Try out different buzzers using the Crazyflie 2.0 breakout deck and a few wires

2) Select a buzzer to solder to a Crazyflie 2.0 prototype deck using a few wires

3) Attach the prototype deck with the buzzer to the Crazyflie 2.0 with the male headers in the box

====== Firmware ======
In order to do fun things with the buzzer there needs to be some firmware. The firmware can be found on the [[https://github.com/bitcraze/crazyflie-firmware/tree/dev-buzzer|dev-buzzer branch]] in the Crazyflie 2.0 repo on GitHub.  Build the firmware and flash it.

The buzzer is implemented in a similar fashion as the [[projects:crazyflie2:expansionboards:ledring|LED-ring deck]]. Using a parameter you can set the current effect of the buzzer. Below is a list of the parameters that are interesting.
<WRAP group>
<WRAP half column>
^  Parameter  ^  Comment  ^
| buzzer.effect | Sets the current effect (max buzzer.neffects - 1) |
| buzzer.melody | Set the current melody (needs buzzer.effect = 2) |
| buzzer.freq | Set static frequency (needs buzzer.effect = 0) |
| buzzer.radio | Set the duty cycle (in 8 bits) for the PWM (should be 127) |
</WRAP>
<WRAP half column>
^  Effect ID ^  Comment  ^
| 0 | Static tone/ratio |
| 1 | Alarm |
| 2 | Play a melody (selected by buzzer.melody) |
| 3 | Frequency varies with pitch (when above 5 or below -5 degrees) |

Have a look in the [[https://github.com/bitcraze/crazyflie-firmware/blob/dev-buzzer/modules/src/buzzer.c|modules/src/buzzer.c]] file for adding new melodies and effects.
