Learn Arduino, Lesson 10. Making Sounds
by Simon Monk
This is Lesson 10 in the Learn Arduino Adafruit series. In this lesson, you will learn how to make sounds with your Arduino. First you will make the Arduino play a 'musical' scale and then combine this with a photocell, to make a Theramin-like instrument that changes the pitch played as you wave your hand over the photocell.
