Piezo Element The Imperial March

Post by rkill »

Hello All,

I'm trying to get my Arduino to play The Imperial March on a piezo element. I must say that I'm a bit shocked that the code is not spread across every corner of the Internet. There's lots of videos and blog posts demonstrating The Imperial March on a piezo, but no code. One would think this should be the audible Hello World for any sound producing Arduino project.

I'm using the ARDX Piezo Elements turtoiral code @ http://ardx.org/CODE06

From what I can gather the keyboard notes are along the lines of a-a-a-f-c-a-f-c-a-e-e-e-g-e-c-f-c-a.

Here's the section of code I'm attempting to edit to make the magic happen.

Code: Select all

int length = 19; // the number of notes
char notes[] = "aaafcafcaeeegecfca "; // a space represents a rest
int beats[] = { 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1 };
int tempo = 300;
Not sure if the sharp notes will be possible using this code, but I'm not looking for perfection. Also it's easy to see, and hear, that my tempo and beats are all wrong.

I was able to find the following example which uses a TA MSP430 Launchpad. The tutorial references an Arduino project that was used to port code to the Launchpad. Unfortunately, the link to the Arduino code is broken.

Any help would be much appreciated!

It took some digging but the good ol' Internet pulled through for me :D

Enjoy!
