    Solar Bug Noise

    Uploaded by

    Rev. Matthew
    This document summarizes a solar-powered circuit that produces a chirpy sound from a piezobuzzer every few minutes. The circuit uses a small solar panel from an old calculator to charge a capacitor, which then powers a relaxation oscillator made of two transistors. This causes the piezobuzzer to produce short beeps periodically when the capacitor is discharged. Minor adjustments can be made, such as reducing the resistor value, to optimize the circuit's performance.
