Siren sounds with 555 timer and 5v Buzzer

Samuel235 Hardware Contributor last edited by Samuel235

I'm looking to have my Homini Complete Room Module be able to sound an alarm when it detects either smoke or carbon monoxide through means of just a 5V buzzer. My initial thoughts were to have a PWM pin pulse the buzzer in various speeds to create this sound, but then I started to think of the workload it would require to have this be done in software while allowing readings from the various other sensors on board to still be read. While doable i thought that if i could create this in hardware it would allow it to be less software dependent.

Due to these requirements of mine, I was thinking about having 2 555 timers generate the pulsing sound on the buzzer. Am I correct in thinking that the trigger pin of a 555 timer is a active low pin meaning that to start the 555 timer we just drop the trigger pin to <1/3 of the supply voltage, which in this case is 5v. So if i take the pin to 5v (HIGH) it would turn the 555 timer off, then soon as i drop the pin to 0v (LOW) it would then turn the 555 timer on and produce a sound?

The question i'm asking here is, To enable/disable the siren, could i just make pin 2 on both 555 timers 0v to make the siren start to sound? Or would it be a much 'better' solution to use a npn transistor as a switch on the 5v line of the 555 timer circuits and have their trigger pins (pin 2) permanently connected to GND?

What is the best route to take here?

I would really like to get OTA working here as it's freezing outside and I have to go there to update the software in the greenhouse control system. So please, can we have a 'how to' step-by-step guide to OTA? Please? S.

@yoonie said: For the pro mini version, should i create another Openhardware project, or should i put it here, in the already existing project? Might be better to create a new project as they uses a different set of design files.

@Tmaster Never assume the original PCB was just a circuit of components, the PCB can incorporate RF shields and antenna radio ground planes...

I bought the Every because it implied it was backward compatible with the nano. No, it's not, as we found out. Be that as it may, any word on a getting the Every working with mySensors?

I have success! (oops, that's suppose to be Timer1) I only sample for 1/60 of a second. What I did was to back up all the timer registered I used and then resorted them after I was done sampling. (As opposed to initializing the registers in setup and then starting the timer when needed.) Now I have a Nano sampling the data and sending it to a MySensors Gateway on an RPi3B+ which then sends it to an MQTT broker runing on an old laptop. Also running on the laptop is Home Assistant running inside of VirtualBox. If MySensors does use Timer1, it appears that restoring the registers allows it to be shared. //------------------------------------------------------ISR ISR(TIMER1_OVF_vect){ // interrupt service routine for overflow TCNT1 = TimerPreloadValue; // must be first line! starts the timer counting again digitalWrite(TRIGGER_START_SAMPLE_PIN,HIGH); samplesVolts[--sample]=analogRead(VOLTS_IN_PIN); // decrement before capturing samplesCurrent[sample]=analogRead(CURRENT_IN_PIN); digitalWrite(TRIGGER_START_SAMPLE_PIN,LOW); if (!sample){ // count down to zero digitalWrite(TRIGGER_START_SAMPLE_PERIOD_PIN,LOW); // indicate that sampling is complete samplingEnd = micros(); TCCR1B &= 248; // turns off timer } } //------------------------------------------------------sampleOneCycle void sampleOneCycle(){ // back up timer registers uint8_t TCNT1_b = TCNT1; uint8_t TCCR1B_b = TCCR1B; uint8_t TCCR1A_b = TCCR1A; uint8_t TIMSK1_b = TIMSK1; // configure timer which starts the sampling noInterrupts(); // disable all interrupts TCCR1A = 0; TCCR1B = 0; TCNT1 = TimerPreloadValue; // preload timer //TCCR1B |= (1 << CS10)|(1 << CS12); // 1024 prescaler TCCR1B &= 248; // turns off timer? TIMSK1 |= (1 << TOIE1); // enable timer overflow interrupt ISR // demark sampling sample = NUMBER_OF_SAMPLES; // count down to zero digitalWrite(TRIGGER_START_SAMPLE_PERIOD_PIN,HIGH); samplingStart = micros(); TCNT1 = 65535; // first trigger right away! TCCR1B |= 1; // turns on timer interrupts(); // enable all interrupts // wait for sampling to be complete while(digitalRead(TRIGGER_START_SAMPLE_PERIOD_PIN)){}; samplingEnd = micros(); // restore timer registers TCNT1 = TCNT1_b; TCCR1B = TCCR1B_b; TCCR1A = TCCR1A_b; TIMSK1 = TIMSK1_b; }
