[Chi-Ting & Theyab] How to troll your friends, again, in an Arduino way

INSPIRATION

On the internet, there’s a way of making people listen to a specific song, but in a new way every time. We decided to use Arduino to do just that.

IDEA

A switch to start playing the song and stop playing the song.

A potentiometer to fasten or slow down the tempo of the song.

int speaker_pin = 2;
bool Switch = LOW;


volatile int tone_length = 100; // determines tempo



// Parts 1 and 2 (Intro)

CHALLENGES

It was a hassle trying to locate the frequencies of the notes and manipulate the duration intervals between each note.
