Hi,

I have a Raspberry Pi 1 Model A and would like to use pi4j to make this Piezo buzzer make sound. A few questions:

  1. I'm still relatively new to electronics, and a few months ago I fried my Arduino board when I connected a servo to it :-/ I'd like to prevent that from happening to my pi! Can anyone see any reason why the buzzer I linked above wouldn't be compatible with the pi? From everything I've seen, I'm fairly confident I can just wire the buzzer into a breadboard and then onto my pi's GPIO pins without the need for any special circuitry (circuit drivers, resistors, transistors, etc.). But I figured it couldn't hurt to ask.
  2. Just a sanity check: I wanted to make sure that I'd be able to use this library to fire the signals necessary at the buzzer so as to make it actually activate sound/noise, yes? I figure the answer is "yes" but wanted to make sure there wasn't anything else needed (drivers, etc.) at the software layer to work with this buzzer.

Thanks in advance!
