Description
In pairs, make a musical instrument
- You must use at least one digital sensor (switch)
- You must use at least one analog sensor (photoresistor, potentiometer, or distance measuring sensor)
Process:
What if you could play music without even touching the instrument!
So our device uses a photoresistor to detect the amount of light around the system and uses that light to give different frequencies out of the buzzer to create a musical tone with some LED effect.
We started off with building a circuit for the photoresistor to detect the amount of light around the system. Then we divided that value into 5 different intervals for the LED. in each interval, a single led lights up indicating the note. We did the same with the buzzer. In the end, we added a switch to keep the device from switching on/off. Here’s a picture of our system:
So the current in the system first goes to the photoresistor to detect the light, which is mapped for the buzzer frequency (note), the led lights, and the duration of the notes. Which ultimately gets displayed as below:

int lights[5] = {2, 4, 7, 8, 12};

lastButtonState = buttonState;
if(onoff==HIGH){
for (int light = 0; light < 5; light++) { //loop for lights
digitalWrite(lights[light], LOW);
}
int value = analogRead(photoresistor); //reading photoresistor
//mapping the values
int mappedValue = map(value, 0, 900, 100, 150);
int mappedValue2 = map(value, 0, 900, 0, 9);
int mappedValue3 = map(value, 0, 900, 0, 4);
//condition for the buzzer
if (millis() % mappedValue == 0) {
tone(tonepin, notes[mappedValue2], mappedValue);
}
digitalWrite(lights[mappedValue3], HIGH);
}
