Introduction: Arduino Mario Bros. Theme Song
Whats up, in this project we'll be re-creating the famous SUPER MARIO BROS. THEME SONG!!!! We'll be doing this using an arduino and a piezo - speaker, have fun!
Step 1: What You'll Need
For this project you will need:
An arduino
Jumper wires
Alligator clips
An arduino piezo - speaker
A bread board (optional)
Your A - GAME
Note: i will not be using a bread board in this project
Step 2: Setup
On your arduino you'll attach one end of one of the jumpers to D3 and one end of the other to Ground (GND)
Then, using your alligator clips; clip one end of each clip to either the other end of the D3 jumper or the GND jumper
The other side of the GND - connected alligator clip will be clipped onto the right side of the silver part located at the bottom of the speaker (as seen in the image provided) and the other end of the D3 - connected clip to the left side the silver part
Then plug on your arduino into a computer, open the arduino IDE and get ready to code!
Step 3: Coding
/*
Arduino Mario Bros Tunes With Piezo Buzzer and PWM Connect the positive side of the Buzzer to pin 3, then the negative side to a 1k ohm resistor. Connect the other side of the 1 k ohm resistor to ground(GND) pin on the Arduino. by: Dipto Pratyaksa last updated: 31/3/13 */ /************************************************* * Public Constants *************************************************/ #define NOTE_B0 31 #define NOTE_C1 33 #define NOTE_CS1 35 #define NOTE_D1 37 #define NOTE_DS1 39 #define NOTE_E1 41 #define NOTE_F1 44 #define NOTE_FS1 46 #define NOTE_G1 49 #define NOTE_GS1 52 #define NOTE_A1 55 #define NOTE_AS1 58 #define NOTE_B1 62 #define NOTE_C2 65 #define NOTE_CS2 69 #define NOTE_D2 73 #define NOTE_DS2 78 #define NOTE_E2 82 #define NOTE_F2 87 #define NOTE_FS2 93 #define NOTE_G2 98 #define NOTE_GS2 104 #define NOTE_A2 110 #define NOTE_AS2 117 #define NOTE_B2 123 #define NOTE_C3 131 #define NOTE_CS3 139 #define NOTE_D3 147 #define NOTE_DS3 156 #define NOTE_E3 165 #define NOTE_F3 175 #define NOTE_FS3 185 #define NOTE_G3 196 #define NOTE_GS3 208 #define NOTE_A3 220 #define NOTE_AS3 233 #define NOTE_B3 247 #define NOTE_C4 262 #define NOTE_CS4 277 #define NOTE_D4 294 #define NOTE_DS4 311 #define NOTE_E4 330 #define NOTE_F4 349 #define NOTE_FS4 370 #define NOTE_G4 392 #define NOTE_GS4 415 #define NOTE_A4 440 #define NOTE_AS4 466 #define NOTE_B4 494 #define NOTE_C5 523 #define NOTE_CS5 554 #define NOTE_D5 587 #define NOTE_DS5 622 #define NOTE_E5 659 #define NOTE_F5 698 #define NOTE_FS5 740 #define NOTE_G5 784 #define NOTE_GS5 831 #define NOTE_A5 880 #define NOTE_AS5 932 #define NOTE_B5 988 #define NOTE_C6 1047 #define NOTE_CS6 1109 #define NOTE_D6 1175 #define NOTE_DS6 1245 #define NOTE_E6 1319 #define NOTE_F6 1397 #define NOTE_FS6 1480 #define NOTE_G6 1568 #define NOTE_GS6 1661 #define NOTE_A6 1760 #define NOTE_AS6 1865 #define NOTE_B6 1976 #define NOTE_C7 2093 #define NOTE_CS7 2217 #define NOTE_D7 2349 #define NOTE_DS7 2489 #define NOTE_E7 2637 #define NOTE_F7 2794 #define NOTE_FS7 2960 #define NOTE_G7 3136 #define NOTE_GS7 3322 #define NOTE_A7 3520 #define NOTE_AS7 3729 #define NOTE_B7 3951 #define NOTE_C8 4186 #define NOTE_CS8 4435 #define NOTE_D8 4699 #define NOTE_DS8 4978 #define melodyPin 3 //Mario main theme melody int melody[] = { NOTE_E7, NOTE_E7, 0, NOTE_E7, 0, NOTE_C7, NOTE_E7, 0, NOTE_G7, 0, 0, 0, NOTE_G6, 0, 0, 0, NOTE_C7, 0, 0, NOTE_G6, 0, 0, NOTE_E6, 0, 0, NOTE_A6, 0, NOTE_B6, 0, NOTE_AS6, NOTE_A6, 0, NOTE_G6, NOTE_E7, NOTE_G7, NOTE_A7, 0, NOTE_F7, NOTE_G7, 0, NOTE_E7, 0, NOTE_C7, NOTE_D7, NOTE_B6, 0, 0, NOTE_C7, 0, 0, NOTE_G6, 0, 0, NOTE_E6, 0, 0, NOTE_A6, 0, NOTE_B6, 0, NOTE_AS6, NOTE_A6, 0, NOTE_G6, NOTE_E7, NOTE_G7, NOTE_A7, 0, NOTE_F7, NOTE_G7, 0, NOTE_E7, 0, NOTE_C7, NOTE_D7, NOTE_B6, 0, 0 };

Note: in the code above an LED is being used, you can do that too if you want
Step 4: Finished!!
Wow, you did it!! Give yourself a big pat on the back and enjoy your Mario soundtrack
