MK replacement buzzer
- Thread starter FlyEYE
- Start date
Someplace I had a couple links to replacements but of course now that I want them I can't find them...
I don't know the actual spec offhand, I'll see if I can dig up the links or some numbers on what the stock ones are.

I ended up buying a 3v-8v one but... but looks like it's DOA (can't get it to run off a 5V supply). Seems like that would be a reasonable range.

If you go to the vendor area you can start a new thread in the quadrocopter.us area and Adam should get an email notice of your question and give you an answer. I'd think the voltage range you chose is appropriate but Adam will know for sure what it is and where to get it.

i bought a couple of these and they arrived this week. they're pretty loud and can be mounted anywhere within reach of the balancing tap of your battery pack. if you have two battery packs you can just use two of the units. very neat little gizmo.

After buying a couple wrong buzzers I learned something about them, most require a "generator" (probably not the right terminology) to create the waveform for the buzzer to work. The MK buzzer just works directly with voltage applied. Read the specs very carefully as it's not obvious and the buzzers I bought looked exactly like the MK one, another thing to pay attention to ... does it run off DC or AC.

and i thought they were all close enough to being the same as to be interchangeable.
once again, i defer to my most commonly used smiley (confused)
thanks for pointing that out FlyEYE.
the ones i bought are just plugged into the battery via the balancing tap and they monitor voltage. for a multi-copter like the XAircraft X650 that doesn't have the ability to monitor voltage, it's a handy thing to have onboard.
