Hello!
Today’s example project uses the “Danger Shield” which includes a list of hardware features such as three large sliding potentiometers, LEDs, LDR light sensor, push buttons, buzzer, and a 7 segment LED display. The example and descriptions are included in this post.
This example project uses the onboard buzzer along with one of the Linear Potentiometers. The user will slide the potentiometer and control the volume of the Danger Shield buzzer.

- Project Schematic
- Component Configurations
Components Used:
The user can download the example project at the bottom of this post. The project uses the following list of Creator Components:
- ADC SAR
- PWM
- CyPin
- CyClock
The components are configured by right clicking on the component in your Top Design schematic view and selecting Configure. Please enable the following selections in the Configuration windows for the listed components above. Attached at the bottom of the post are images of the component configurations.
Firmware Description:
The main.c firmware is included in the example project. Please review the commented sections for more details.
This example project uses the large A0 Linear Potentiometer on the Danger Shield. The user can slide this potentiometer back and forth controlling the volume of the buzzer. The PSoC 4 uses the ADC SAR component to read the voltage output from the A0 potentiometer and uses that value to control the buzzer volume by changing the duty cycle on the PWM output.
Hardware Connections:
There are no hardware connections outside of connecting the Danger Shield to the Pioneer Kit.
Test Your Project:
Once programmed with this project, you can slide the A0 potentiometer to change the volume on the buzzer.
I hope this example can help you out in your design.
Best,
Matt
