Playing music with an Arduino

Question

Good evening!

I am quite new with Arduino but not in programming. Still, I have already done some programs with few leds.

I was just wandering how to create a circuit and a program that would play the "happy birthday" song with the following materials:

enter image description here

I have a breadbord and some wires.

Else, do you have some links where I could start learning how to play music with it?

• Mikael Patel: You are in luck: forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=178460.0
• Revolucion for Monica: God! I'm trying it right away and send feedbacks soon!

Answer 1

Thanks to Mikael Patel for suggesting that link (your Google-Fu must be strong!).

I am pasting the code below so that this answer survives any possible future deletion of the read-only part of the Arduino Forum.

//This following code plays happy birthday melody on Arduino
//Put Piezo Buzzer on GDN and 9 (Positive and negative are reversible)
//this project requires a Piezo Buzzer and
// an Arduino board and
//jumper wires to connect Buzzer's (+) to ~9 and (-) to GND (any GND)
const int speakerPin = 9;
const int LENGTH = 28; // the number of notes
const char notes[LENGTH + 1] = "GGAGcB GGAGdc GGxecBA yyecdc";
const int beats[LENGTH] = { 2, 2, 8, 8, 8, 16, 1, 2, 2, 8, 8, 8, 16, 1, 2, 2, 8, 8, 8, 8, 16, 1, 2, 2, 8, 8, 8, 16 };
const int tempo = 150;
void playTone(int tone, int duration) 
 {
 for (long i = 0; i < duration * 1000L; i += tone * 2) 
 {
 digitalWrite(speakerPin, HIGH);
 delayMicroseconds(tone);
 digitalWrite(speakerPin, LOW);
 delayMicroseconds(tone);
 }
 } // end of playTone
void playNote(const char note, const int duration) 
 {
 char names[] = {'C', 'D', 'E', 'F', 'G', 'A', 'B',
 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'a', 'b',
 'x', 'y'
 };
 const int tones[] = { 1915, 1700, 1519, 1432, 1275, 1136, 1014,
 956, 834, 765, 593, 468, 346, 224,
 655 , 715
 };
 const int SPEE = 5;
 // play the tone corresponding to the note name
 for (int i = 0; i < 17; i++) 
 {
 if (names[i] == note) {
 int newduration = duration / SPEE;
 playTone(tones[i], newduration);
 }
 }
} // end of playNote
void setup() 
 {
 pinMode(speakerPin, OUTPUT);
 } // end of setup
void loop() 
 {
 for (int i = 0; i < LENGTH; i++) 
 {
 if (notes[i] == ' ') 
 {
 delay(beats[i] * tempo); // rest
 } 
 else 
 {
 playNote(notes[i], beats[i] * tempo);
 }
 // pause between notes
 delay(tempo);
 }
} // end of loop

I also cleaned up the code a bit.
