Play A Tune - Elenco Electronics SNAP CIRCUITS XP SCXP-50 Instruction Manual

Project B4
Optional:
You can adjust the tempo of the song by changing the
second number in the Tune command of this program to any
whole number from 1 (fast) to 15 (slow), then re-download.
Do not change anything else in the program.
Many more tunes are available for your PICAXE

Play a Tune

Build the circuit as shown. Turn on the slide switch (S1). Load
any of the programs whose name starts with "Song-" (such as
Song-PopGoesWeasel) into the microcontroller (U21) using the
programming instructions in project B1. Program Piano can
also be used.
The microcontroller will play a tune and may flash some lights.
Use the lever on the adjustable resistor (RV) to adjust the volume.
The Tune command produces musical
notes (in the form of an electrical
voltage) on output 2.
It is possible to create your own music
using the tune command, but this is not
recommended because the coding
method is complicated and not easy to
use. Programming Editor (a more
advanced version of PICAXE software)
has a Tune Wizard that makes creating
or importing music easy. See page 59 for
more information about Programming
Editor.
