8.7 Using the Buzzer Output GPIO7
As Alternate Function, the GPIO7 is controlled by the firmware that depends on the function
implemented internally.
This setup places always the GPIO7 pin in OUTPUT direction and the corresponding function must be
activated properly by AT#SRP command (refer to AT commands specification).
Also in this case, the
dummy value for the pin state can be both “ 0 ” or “ 1 ”.
Send the command AT#GPIO=7, 1 , 2:
Wait for response OK
Send the command AT#SRP=3
The GPIO7 pin will be set as Alternate Function pin with its dummy logic status set to HIGH value.
The "Alternate function” permits your application to easily implement Buzzer feature with some small
hardware extension of your application as shown in the next sample figure.
Example of Buzzer’s driving circuit.
NOTE: To correctly drive a buzzer, a driver must be provided; its characteristics depend on the Buzzer and to get
these info contact your buzzer vendor.
