Devon Headen Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 I've been mostly concentrating on the woodwork/inlay side of things, but I guess it's time for some electronics. I've read a lot about them, but they still confuse the living crap out of me most of the time. I'm wanting to try this whole piezo thing with the buzzers, but I need some help with what to do. I got the element out of the case, but uhh...that didn't help..here are some pics of it side 1 side2 Where do I solder the leads? It had three single strand wires coming off the circuit board and onto this. I read that the elements have a brass side, and a ceramic side, but as you see, this one's brass on both sides. I'd like to get crankin ASAP on this, so would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeAR Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 Dont worry about the third solder tab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devon Headen Posted April 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 Thanks man . Does it matter how I wire them? Like I said, I don't know much about electronics, but I really don't understand having two leads unless one is ground. Is the one on the brass ground or something?
