Hi Guys,
I am very new to electronics and had to come with up a little project to help a friend. It's basically an IR reflective sensor that triggers a Piezo to buzz when the IR sensor detects an object. I decided to use a simple 555 Timer to control the Piezo.
I've attached the design schematic I came up. It's probably got a load of errors but with my basic electronics knowledge I thought it should function as intended, not sure what I stuffed up. As it stands, when you connect 12V to the board it simply buzzes non-stop regardless of the IR detector detecting anything.
Any help/tips/ridicule is welcome![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
