Make a Buzzer Beep

This section describes how to use VisionFive 2 or VisionFive 2 Lite's GPIO pins to make a buzzer beep through an example program with Python.

Hardware Setup

Connect the buzzer to the 40-pin header of VisionFive 2 or VisionFive 2 Lite as follows.

Perform the following steps on Debian of VisionFive 2 or VisionFive 2 Lite.

Locate the directory where the test code, buzzer.py, exists.
1. Source into the PYthon3 Virtual Environment.
```
source ./myvenv/bin/activate
```
2. Install the dependency.
```
python3 -m pip install pillow
```
3. Get the directory where VisionFive.gpio exists.
```
python3 -m pip show VisionFive.gpio
```
  Note: The output depends on how the application is installed.
4. Enter the VisionFive.gpio directory.
```
cd <VisionFive.gpio directory>
```
5. Enter the sample-code directory.
```
cd ./VisionFive/sample-code/
```
Under the sample-code directory, execute the following command to run the demo code.
```
sudo python  buzzer.py
```
Alternatively, you can also run the following command.
```
sudo python3  buzzer.py
```
Note: For details about the source code, see buzzer.py Source Code.
Enter the values as prompted to configure the pitch and the lasting time of the beeps.
- Enter Pitch (200 to 20000): The frequency (in Hz) of the buzzer, ranging from 200 to 20000
  
  Note: If your value is out of the range, a warning message is displayed.
- Enter Cycle (seconds): The duration (in seconds) the buzzer keeps beeping
(Optional) Exit the Python3 Virtual Environment.
```
deactivate
