Assignment 5. Beat Box

Project Members: 
Seung Wook Kim

[Description]

- Control beat tempo and pitch with two potentiometers

- Use 3 LEDs to indicate different beat tempos 

- Pause beat with FSR

 

[Components]

- Potentiometer X 2

- Piezo Speaker X 1

- LED X 3 (r, g, b)

- FSR X 1

- Resistor X 4

 

[Arduino Code]
