MUSIC & ARDUINO
On brainstorming the other day in the CC lab class, I was keen on working with Arduino and music. So, I decided to create the 8 musical notes, octaves, so that people can play music for fun.
Prototype done in class using Paper
1st Prototype:
Making a Piano that records and then plays back the recorded octave notes
Materials used:
1. Arduino UNO
2. 16*2 LCD Display
3. Potentiometer
4. Buzzer
5. SPDT Switch
6. Push Buttons
7. Resistors
8. Connecting Wires
9. Breadboard
DEMO:
The player can record the music they want to play and on switching the spdt switch, can listen back to the recorded music.
2nd Prototype:
Making a Piano using the octave notes-
Materials used:
1. Arduino UNO
2. LED lights
3. Resistors
3. Potentiometer
4. Buzzer
6. Push Buttons
7. Jumper wires
8. Connecting Wires
9. Breadboard
The player can use the potentiometer to play the octaves in disparate pitches.
DEMO:
Simplifying the prototype, exploring the octaves and how music works with arduino.
Final Prototype:
Making a Piano using the octave notes-
Materials used:
1. Arduino UNO
2. LED lights
3. Resistors
3. Potentiometer
4. Buzzer
6. Push Buttons
7. Jumper wires
8. Connecting Wires
9. Arduino UNO PCB Board
10. Breadboard Soldering Board
11. Lead wire for soldering
12. Male header wires
13. Extra long male header wires
14. Copper conductive tape
DEMO:
Final Prototype: VERSION 1.0
WORKING PRINCIPLE-
PIANO:
WORKING:
Using the "pitches.h" library, I have set each button to different frequencies and pitches to create the octave notes.
VERSION 2.0
DEMO:
FINAL PROTOTYPES-
FUTURE ITERATIONS:
- I would definitely want to explore other music/sound libraries.
- Work again on soldering and making the mini piano work.
Thank You
