Micro Pod Music Player
It’s time to add some sound to the Micro:bit, but it does not have a built-in speaker. One option is to use a pair of earbuds (you can search for instructions online), but we’ve included in the kit a board that has both a battery and a little buzzer on it. (MI:power Assembly Instructions
Code
In this project we'll use the buttons to play different songs.
- Under the Input menu find the On Button Pressed block and drag it into your code.
-
Under the Music menu you will find a variety of blocks. Play around with them.
Here I use the Play Tone blocks to play the beginning of a familiar song.
-
You can also play an advanced, preprogrammed melody (the Start Melody
block). The following tacks on a little bit of Beethoven to the song above!
Tune Ideas
The website https://nooknet.net has an Island Tune Creator that you can search for different short, 16-beat tune ideas. Can you translate one of these tunes into a program that plays when a button is pushed on the Micro:bit?
