To celebrate the early spirit of Christmas, I wanted to make the buzzer play a Christmas tune. The tune plays by pressing the button ( switch ). I added , also, a Knob ( potentiometer) to control the volume of the tune. I struggled a lot with the Knob , I thought that the way I connected it was right because I used the example specified for the buzzer and knob but it turned out that their is a different way to connect it when a button is involved. Also the the code was difficult to figure out but once that was sorted I was finally able to finish this project since connecting the buzzer to the button was very simple and fun to build.
Finally I hope you enjoy this project, it was fun to make:
#define buzzer 9
#define button 7
#include "pitches.h"
#define melodyPin 9
// Jingle Bells
int melody[] = {
NOTE_E5, NOTE_E5, NOTE_E5,
NOTE_E5, NOTE_E5, NOTE_E5,
NOTE_E5, NOTE_G5, NOTE_C5, NOTE_D5,
NOTE_E5,
NOTE_F5, NOTE_F5, NOTE_F5, NOTE_F5,
NOTE_F5, NOTE_E5, NOTE_E5, NOTE_E5, NOTE_E5,
NOTE_E5, NOTE_D5, NOTE_D5, NOTE_E5,
NOTE_D5, NOTE_G5
};
int tempo[] = {
8, 8, 4,
8, 8, 4,
8, 8, 8, 8,
2,
8, 8, 8, 8,
8, 8, 8, 16, 16,
8, 8, 8, 8,
4, 4
};
void setup() {// put your setup code here, to run once:
pinMode ( button, INPUT);
Serial.begin (9600);
}
void loop() {
if ( digitalRead ( button) == HIGH) {
Serial.println(" 'Jingle Bells'");
int size = sizeof(melody) / sizeof(int);
for (int thisNote = 0; thisNote < size; thisNote++) {
// to calculate the note duration, take one second
// divided by the note type.
//e.g. quarter note = 1000 / 4, eighth note = 1000/8, etc.
int noteDuration = 1000 / tempo[thisNote];
tone(melodyPin, melody[thisNote], noteDuration);
// to distinguish the notes, set a minimum time between them.
// the note's duration + 30% seems to work well:
int pauseBetweenNotes = noteDuration * 1.30;
delay(pauseBetweenNotes);
// stop the tone playing:
tone (melodyPin, 0, noteDuration);
}
int knobValue = analogRead (A0);
byte pwm = map(knobValue, 0, 1023, 0, 255);
Serial.print ( knobValue);
Serial.print ( "-");
Serial. println ( pwm);
analogWrite( tone, pwm);
delay (1);
} else {
noTone (buzzer);
}
}
