Description

A present which plays happy birthday when you open it (rather like those musical cards you can buy nowadays).

Components Used

  • Light Emitting Diode (LED)
  • Resistors
  • Piezo speaker
  • Cardboard box

Arduino Code

/* Happy  Birthday
 * -----------
 *
 * Program to play melodies stored arrays based on the amount of light hitting a photocell.
 *
 * The calculation of the tones is made following the mathematical
 * operation:
 *
 *       timeHigh = 1/(2 * toneFrequency) = period / 2
 *
 * where the different tones are described as in the table:
 *
 * note frequency period PW (timeHigh)
 * c        261 Hz        3830 1915
 * d        294 Hz        3400 1700
 * e        329 Hz        3038 1519
 * f        349 Hz        2864 1432
 * g        392 Hz        2550 1275
 * a        440 Hz        2272 1136
 * b        493 Hz        2028 1014
 * C        523 Hz        1912 956
