The SparkFun Qwiic Buzzer adds simple beeps and buzzes to your projects via I²C. Make some noises to alert you when something interesting (or urgent) happens. Simply connect a Qwiic cable and load up some pre-written code to an Arduino to start making noises!

The board includes an ATtiny84 with custom firmware to control the piezoelectric buzzer over I²C. Utilizing our handy Qwiic system, no soldering is required to connect it to the rest of your system. However, we still broke out 0.1"-spaced PTH pads if you prefer to use a breadboard to access the board's I2C, power, trigger, and reset pins on the board's edge. A 2.2k&ohm; pull-up resistor is included on the data and clock lines.

A set of transistors control the buzzer's volume. At full volume, it allows the full current of about ~95mA, which makes it really loud. A flyback diode is included to discharge any energy remaining when the buzzer is turned off. For those who want to control the loudness of the buzzer, a footprint is available to solder a custom PTH resistor to one of the transistors. Just make sure to cut the jumper labeled "JP1." Two LEDs are also included on the board for power and status.

We've written an Arduino Library to control the volume, frequency, duration, and I²C address. There are even examples of how to play a quick melody and sweet sound effects! You can download the library through the Arduino library manager by searching 'SparkFun Qwiic Buzzer,' or you can get the GitHub repo as a .zip to install the library from there manually. For those who want a simple buzz without an Arduino, you can also make noise by simply grounding the trigger pin! We've even ported the library as a Python package!

This board is great for adding a simple audible sound to your projects. Pair the board with the Qwiic RTC to make an alarm clock, play a tune with the Qwiic RFID, or add a sound effect to your robot. So what are you waiting for?!? Start making some noise in your projects with the SparkFun Qwiic Buzzer!

The SparkFun Qwiic Connect System is an ecosystem of I²C sensors, actuators, shields and cables that make prototyping faster and less prone to error. All Qwiic-enabled boards use a common 1mm pitch, 4-pin JST connector. This reduces the amount of required PCB space, and polarized connections mean you can’t hook it up wrong.

Jargon buster

Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.

I2C: I2C is a two-wire communication bus used by many sensors and small modules. It matters because several I2C devices can share the same two wires, but each device needs a compatible address and your controller must support I2C.
LED: A light-emitting diode (LED) is a small electronic component that emits light when current flows through it in the correct direction. Because it only conducts one way, its polarity matters, and a through-hole LED must be soldered the correct way around to light up.
PCB: A printed circuit board (PCB) is a board, usually rigid, with etched copper tracks that connect electronic components together without loose wiring. Components are mounted on the board and signals route between them through the copper layout.
PTH: Plated through-hole means the pin holes are metal-lined so solder connects the pad on both sides of the board. It is useful for connectors and headers that need a strong mechanical and electrical connection.
Qwiic: Qwiic is a plug-in connector system for I2C devices that uses small 4-pin cables, so you can connect compatible sensors without soldering. It matters because your controller or adapter also needs Qwiic, or you will need a cable or breakout to wire it up.
RTC: A Real-Time Clock keeps track of time even when the main processor is asleep or powered down, usually with a small backup battery. It matters for data logging and tracking projects that need accurate timestamps.
