Piezoelectric actuators

Hey, guys.

Right, I have a dilemma regarding this matter.

I need the piezoelectric actuator to vibrate at high frequency. What kind of power source should I be looking at? The application is for something compact.

As far as my knowledge goes, DC will move it just once, but AC will give it a vibration.

Is that the case? What other inputs can you give me?

Thank you! :)

Sounds like you would need oscillator

or multivibrator

Start from making multivibrator on breadboard like in figure 1 in above link.

Connect 2 LEDs to see how they turn on/off light.

Get familiar with how capacitance and resistance changes delays of blinking light.

Then move further from this setup.
