Oscilloscope help

[Darrel Taylor]

Yes, of course it can.
It's only 3-4 khz. You can generate that in software easily.

But see if it drives your piezo first.
I was assumming your piezo has a resonant frequency of ~3.5khz.

THANKS Darrel, it worked like a charm with HPWM. Any pointers as to how to do without it.

I tried FREQOUT

    FOR Freq = 3000 TO 4000 STEP 10    
        FREQOUT PortC.2,1, Freq
    NEXT Freq

but the results were not the same, not even near enough, the pulsing sound is not that prominent

[Darrel Taylor]

FREQOUT makes sine waves and must be filtered, which is not what you need.
Try this ...

PiezoPIN  VAR PORTC.2
TMR0IF    VAR INTCON.2
Width     VAR BYTE
OPTION_REG = %11010011 ; TMR0 1:16

Alarm:
    FOR Width = 161 TO 120 STEP -1
        WHILE !TMR0IF
            TOGGLE PiezoPIN
            PAUSEUS Width
            TOGGLE PiezoPIN
            PAUSEUS Width
        WEND
        TMR0IF = 0
    NEXT Width
GOTO Alarm

Thanks Darrel and everyone. It's done

Just out of curiosity, can this be achieved without using a microcontroller?

Commonly driven by a type 555 multi-function timer chip. Google '555 alarm schematic' and take your pick.
Also can be done using standard logic gates such as 2-NANDs in astable mode with another 2 providing the modulation therefore a single dual-input quad NAND package (4011 or 7400) will work. You can use NOR gates too.

You can also buy piezo devices that are already configured to output an alarm tone, aka piezo buzzers. Sonalert for one, comes to mind.
