I need to make a circuit that will produce either one, two or three short
consecutive beeps depending on the input signal it recieves.
For example:

Input 1 = One beep (could mean 'ON').
Input 2 = Two beeps (could mean 'OFF').
Input 3 = Three beeps (could mean 'ERROR')..

This is just an example. The 3rd one is not critical, but would be nice.

I want to be able to add it to practically any circuit which will provide
audible confirmation of the circuit's current operation. I was thinking of
using a PIC to do this, but is last resort (as I know absolutely nothing
about them).

Has anyone got any suggestions?

Thanks.

A PIC, even the smallest one is the most simple solution... once you can
program it and program it. That's to say you need the skills and the
equipment. If you like to make more of this type of circuits the investment
wil sure pay off. Otherwise, a bunch of 555s may do the job as well.

- One astable (1) for the beep timing (let's say 0.4s on and 0.4s off once
enabled)
- One monostable (1). Triggered by 'ON', enabling the astable (1) for 0.6s.
- One monostable (2). Triggered by 'OFF', enabling the astable (1) for 1.4s.
- One monostable (3). Triggered by 'ERROR', enabling the astable (1) for
2.2s.
- One astable (2) optional to produce a 1kHz beebfrequency once enabled by
astable (1).

The most straightforward way to control astable(1) by the three monostables
is a 3-input OR-gate (or NAND).

Oops, forget the NAND as you have no inverted outputs.

Well, a PIC would certainly keep the chip count down! But, you have the
investment of maybe $100.00 for the development system, and the time it
takes to learn the programming language, which, if you're a programmer,
shouldn't be hard at all. And the act of selecting which PIC you want
to use is an exercise in itself. :-)

The only other way that springs to my mind is a pot-load of counters
and logic gates and stuff, which sounds like a dandy exercise for the
reader. ;-)

Good Luck!

Well, Rich,

I have to disagree on some points. As for a development system, you can find
all on the net. For free. A programmer (the equipment, not the man) can be
build for much less then $100. Free schematics and plans on the net. The
investment will be in time. Knowing nothing of PICS is not a real problem
but knowing nothing of micros and programming is a pretty high hurdle.

Another way I pointed out in a previous posting. If you use NE556 you can do
with two or three chips (and a pot of resistors and caps :)

OK, fair enough. I haven't personally attacked that hurdle, because I
haven't really had that much incentive to chase after it. :-)

This is true - I made an SOS light once with about three chips - it was
very much like those amber flashers that you see on the "Under
Construction" signs, but this flashed "SOS" in Morse code

I used "data selector logic" lifted almost directly from Don Lancaster's
TTL Cookbook.

The point of the project was, if you see flashing amber lights, on-off-on-
off, etc, then it means mechanical difficulties. If you see the SOS light,
it means a person in distress, so hurry up and call the ambulance. The
product never got off the ground, but it was fun to design!

And I got paid. :-)

Any one of the inputs goes high and the 4017 and 555 are taken out of
RESET. The end of each beeper pulse clocks the 4017, outputs of which
are AND'ed with appropriate input line as necessary. When required
number beeps has occurred, transistor RSTs the 555, freezing it in LOW
state, and circuit remains locked up until all inputs are
removed-allowing 4017 to RESET.

That's nonsense!- why do that when you can use the serial port on your PC.

I made a flashing bike light for my daughter in NYC using a red 1-watt

Luxeon. She said she wanted bright. This sucker is bright!

I thought about having it flash: di di di di dah ..... dah dah di dah
(4Q) to show a little New Yawk attitude -- but I didn't have the
microcontroller ability to do that. Still don't but hope to soon.
Heck, a SOT23-6 10Fxxx PIC would have taken less space than the 555
I used.

Hi Fred, thanks for the schematic - very helpful. Did you come up with that
yourself? Just out of curiosity, have you tested the circuit? I haven't
had a chance to build it yet, but can't wait to see how it works - and
sounds like it will do the job. Most others have mentioned a PIC but I
haven't got the time for that. I will let you know how I went with your
schematic. Thanks again.

Jase.




No need to breadboard, these parts are too familiar. I did a
confirmation check in mixed-mode SPICE and it works as expected. What
kind of beeper are you working with?- there are several types- some are
self-oscillating so that all the 555 has to do is apply voltage to it,
others are just transducers and you have to supply the oscillatory
input. In the second case you will have to make a 555 oscillator at
2-3KHz to drive it, and use the 555 on the schematic to drive its RST
input- gating it on and off. I suppose a beep duration of 500ms ON and
250ms OFF should be about right- and that would be something like this:

BTW: I'd use a ceramic for the 1uF. There is a lot less risk of putting

it in backwards that way.

When RST goes high, the 0.5u puts the trigger at Vcc/3.

BTW: You can make pulsing beep with just one 555. Unfortunately, there
is no easy way to do the CD4017 running from it. It looks like this:
