Copy/Paste the code below into an empty arduino sketch. Then compile and upload it to your Metro.
// CIRC06 - Music with Piezo
int speakerPin = 9;
int length = 15; // the number of notes
char notes[] = "ccggaagffeeddc "; // a space represents a rest
int beats[] = { 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 4 };
int tempo = 300;
void playNote(char note, int duration) {
char names[] = { 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'a', 'b', 'C' };
int tones[] = { 1915, 1700, 1519, 1432, 1275, 1136, 1014, 956 };
// play the tone corresponding to the note name
for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++) {
if (names[i] == note) {
tone(speakerPin, tones[i], duration);
}
}
}
void setup() {
pinMode(speakerPin, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
for (int i = 0; i < length; i++) {
if (notes[i] == ' ') {
delay(beats[i] * tempo); // rest
} else {
playNote(notes[i], beats[i] * tempo);
}
// pause between notes
delay(tempo / 2);
}
}
No sound is coming out of the speaker
Given the size and shape of the piezo element it is easy to miss the right holes on the breadboard. Try double checking its placement.
Can't Think While the Melody is Playing? Annoyed by the sound?
Just pull up the piezo element whilst you think, upload your program then plug it back in.
