Arduino Guitar Tuner

Here is a guitar tuner I made with an Arduino Uno and some stuff I had lying around. It works like this:

There are 5 buttons each which will produce a different note in the standard guitar tuning EADGBE. Since I only had 5 buttons, I wrote code so that if you hold down the 'E' button, it will produce a high E, while if you just tap the button it will produce a low E.

When you press the cooresponding button, the letter of the note will appear on the 7 segment display, and the active buzzer will produce the correct pitch. The high E is indicated on the display by 'E.' while the low E is indicated as 'E'.

It doesn't sound so pretty because I used a crappy active buzzer, although it does work. I have tuned my guitar successfully with it multiple times.

Step 1: What You'll Need

For this project I used the following hardware:

Arduino Uno

Breadboard

74HC595 Shift Register

Active Buzzer

8x 220 Ohm Resistors

7 Segment Display

5 Mechanical Buttons (Preferably 6)

Step 2: Wiring

Sorry it doesn't look to pretty. This is my first time with the schematic software. I tried to color coordinate so you could follow each signal.

Step 3: Code
