Hello clever electronics people!
I got a D at GCSE level and never looked back until now!
I recently bought an electric vehicle that came with the most annoying two tone reversing noise ever.
I discovered today:
1) Where this noise was coming from. A Piezo Buzzer labelled KINGSTATE KPEG280 mounted on the chassis under the drivers seat.
and;
2) How to fool the vehicle into reversing without knowing it’s in reverse (thus negating the noise) by unplugging a pin connection under the gear lever.
My question is...what can I do?
I’m comfortable with a soldering iron and would like to fit a switch to make the buzzer noise optional when reversing (late night, neighbours must hate me) and change the reverse noise. However, I don’t understand Piezo Buzzers and how they work. Is the noise based on the electrical current hitting that component or is the noise dependant on that component?
Is there a way I could snip thise two wires (red and black) removing the buzzer and replacing it with something more fun?
The van is used for events so I would love to replace it with something that fits our theme...happy to do some programming and comfortable with new projects.
