How to Use Active and Passive Buzzers on the Arduino - Ultimate Guide to the Arduino #27

Active buzzers and passive buzzers on the Arduino can be used to notify you when a sensor reaches a certain value. In this video, we learn how to control an active buzzer with a push button and how to use a passive buzzer to play a set of musical notes.

This is tutorial #27 in the Ultimate Guide to the Arduino, a complete video course on the Arduino microcontroller with 45 lessons that are designed to teach anyone how to master the Arduino at any skill level. Visit our YouTube channel page to watch the entire series!

Your video was very informative! Had no idea what passive buzzers did until now. Thank you!

this is very good, but the passive buzzer volume is too low. How can we make the volume way way louder?

hi my buzzer just goes off when connected rather than being triggered

But sound loudness is lower than active buzzer
