This example shows how to use the tone() command to generate notes. It plays a little melody you may have heard before. Circuit image developed using Fritzing. For more circuit examples, see the Fritzing project page Connect one terminal of your speaker to digital pin 8 through a 100 ohm resistor. Connect the other terminal to ground.

I was looking for a project to do with my Raspberry Pi and found thisInstructable and thought I would have a go at something similar which worked with Google Play Music. I had a rough idea of what I wanted the final item to end up like and was able to get my dad interested in helping me with

This sketch shows you how to read the microphone sensor. The microphone will range from 0 (total silence) to 1023 (really loud). It uses the sound level to set a brightness level for the green LED. When you’re using the sensor’s reading (for example, to set the brightness of the LED), you map the sensor’s

In France and some other countries playing the flute is included in music lessons at school. This project is to share a possible solution for children or music lovers with limb differences and agenesis to play flute. Basic Idea: Use an Arduino board to make a circuit that if a button is pressed then the

Another quick hack. I purchased a voice changer because I was looking for something cheap that could be hacked into an voice input device. Basically I wanted to animate a skull when I spoke. Added bonus, now the skull puppet would also have a scary voice. I am going to show you how to hack

This project is a part of experiments done while doing an artist in residence at Instructables. You can see the other projects here. Creating emergent patterns that can be converted into sounds fascinates me. So this is my first experiment in building an arduino platform for creating such patterns. This version uses a Gameduino as its

In this IoT project, I have shown how to make an IoT-based Home Automation with Arduino IoT Cloud & Alexa using ESP32 to control 4 home appliances with voice commands. If the internet is not available, then you can control the home appliances manually with switches and IR remote. During the article, I have shown

DAC is short for Digital to Analog Converter. In this article we play around the code Michael Smith created for a PWM based DAC. I modified his code so that other DAC options could be tried. I compare the 8-Bit PWM DAC with the R2R DAC at various numbers of bits. You might be surprised

Making a hardware synthesizer is a really fun and rewarding experience. But usually with a lead synth you would want to implement ADSR envelopes, multiple adjustable oscillators, multiple types of filters for each, polyphony et cetera et cetera. Those aren’t conducive to a beginner project, but it definitely isn’t impossible to make something that sounds
