INTERFACING SPEAKER WITH ARDUINO

This article is about to explain how to play music with a speaker or a 5v buzzer. Here in this we use a Arduino uno board to play coffin dance music with a 4Ω speaker. Use the source code in the article (do not alter it may cause different output)  upload it to Arduino uno using an Arduino IDE platform. Basically to run a speaker using any microcontroller, the digital signal ( signal from microcontroller ) should be converted to analog from ( sound wave ) .

RE

Aim:

To play music with a speaker using Arduino UNO board.   

Materials Required:

  1. Arduino uno or any Arduino board,
  2. Bread Board,
  3. Jumper Wire/Connecting Wire,
  4. Transistor bc557,
  5. Speaker 4 Ω 3W .

Step-1: Connecting with Arduino

Connections for the project connect Arduino to computer, use speaker instead of buzzer. In the below image a buzzer is used instead of speaker.

Arduino with speaker

make sure the connection are made as per the diagram.

Step-2:

After completing the basic connections as per diagram then we want to upload the source code to the uno board using the Arduino IDE.

The code for the following is,

Main Code: 

#include "pitches.h"

int melody[] = {
  NOTE_AS4, NOTE_AS4, NOTE_AS4, NOTE_AS4,
  NOTE_AS4, NOTE_AS4, NOTE_AS4, NOTE_AS4,
  NOTE_AS4, NOTE_AS4, NOTE_AS4, NOTE_AS4,
  NOTE_AS4, NOTE_AS4, NOTE_AS4, NOTE_AS4,
  NOTE_AS4, NOTE_AS4, NOTE_AS4, NOTE_AS4,
  NOTE_D5, NOTE_D5, NOTE_D5, NOTE_D5,
  NOTE_C5, NOTE_C5, NOTE_C5, NOTE_C5, 
  NOTE_F5, NOTE_F5, NOTE_F5, NOTE_F5, 
  NOTE_G5, NOTE_G5, NOTE_G5, NOTE_G5,
  NOTE_G5, NOTE_G5, NOTE_G5, NOTE_G5, 
  NOTE_G5, NOTE_G5, NOTE_G5, NOTE_G5, 
  NOTE_C5, NOTE_AS4, NOTE_A4, NOTE_F4,
  NOTE_G4, 0, NOTE_G4, NOTE_D5,
  NOTE_C5, 0, NOTE_AS4, 0,
  NOTE_A4, 0, NOTE_A4, NOTE_A4,
  NOTE_C5, 0, NOTE_AS4, NOTE_A4, 
  NOTE_G4,0, NOTE_G4, NOTE_AS5,
  NOTE_A5, NOTE_AS5, NOTE_A5, NOTE_AS5,
  NOTE_G4,0, NOTE_G4, NOTE_AS5,
  NOTE_A5, NOTE_AS5, NOTE_A5, NOTE_AS5,
  NOTE_G4, 0, NOTE_G4, NOTE_D5,
  NOTE_C5, 0, NOTE_AS4, 0,
  NOTE_A4, 0, NOTE_A4, NOTE_A4,
  NOTE_C5, 0, NOTE_AS4, NOTE_A4, 
  NOTE_G4,0, NOTE_G4, NOTE_AS5,
  NOTE_A5, NOTE_AS5, NOTE_A5, NOTE_AS5,
  NOTE_G4,0, NOTE_G4, NOTE_AS5,
  NOTE_A5, NOTE_AS5, NOTE_A5, NOTE_AS5
 };

// note durations: 4 = quarter note, 8 = eighth note, etc.:
int noteDurations[] = {
  4,4,4,4,
  4,4,4,4,
  4,4,4,4,
  4,4,4,4,
  4,4,4,4,
  4,4,4,4,
  4,4,4,4,
  4,4,4,4,
  4,4,4,4,
  4,4,4,4,
  4,4,4,4,
  4,4,4,4,
  4,4,4,4,
  4,4,4,4,
  4,4,4,4,
  4,4,4,4,
  4,4,4,4,
  4,4,4,4,
  4,4,4,4,
  4,4,4,4,
  4,4,4,4,
  4,4,4,4,
  4,4,4,4,
  4,4,4,4,
  4,4,4,4,
  4,4,4,4,
  4,4,4,4,
  4,4,4,4,
  };

void setup() {
  for (int thisNote = 0; thisNote < 112; thisNote++) {

    int noteDuration = 750 / noteDurations[thisNote];
    tone(13, melody[thisNote], noteDuration);//change pins if wanted

    int pauseBetweenNotes = noteDuration * 1.30;
    delay(pauseBetweenNotes);
    
    noTone(13);//change pins if wanted
  }
}

void loop() {
}

After this add new tab in Arduino IDE and add the below code to attach note library for sounds,                     

Pitches.h Code:

NOTE name the new tab created as “pitches.h”and paste the below code
