Hi guys,
Got my arduino today and I already absolutely love the thing!
To start it off I implemented ThinkGeeks annoyatron. Because this is my first post, I cant post the link to the annoyatron but google ThinkGeek annoyatron to see what I’m talking about.
Simply hook up a buzzer to pin 13, hide it somewhere and cause mayhem!
// Time is specified in minutes
#define MINTIME 2
#define MAXTIME 8
#define BUZZERPIN 13
#define FREQUENCY1 2000
#define FREQUENCY2 12000
void setup() {
randomSeed(analogRead(0));
pinMode(BUZZERPIN, OUTPUT);
}
void loop()
{
int duration = random(MINTIME*60,MAXTIME*60);
for(int i = 0; i < duration; i++)
delay(1000); // Wait 1 second
buzz(BUZZERPIN, randomFrequency(), 1000);
}
int randomFrequency()
{
if(random(0,9) < 5) {
return FREQUENCY1;
}
else {
return FREQUENCY2;
}
}
// Credit to Rob Faludi for the code below
void buzz(int targetPin, long frequency, long length) {
long delayValue = 1000000/frequency/2; // calculate the delay value between transitions
//// 1 second's worth of microseconds, divided by the frequency, then split in half since
//// there are two phases to each cycle
long numCycles = frequency * length/ 1000; // calculate the number of cycles for proper timing
//// multiply frequency, which is really cycles per second, by the number of seconds to
//// get the total number of cycles to produce
for (long i=0; i < numCycles; i++){ // for the calculated length of time...
digitalWrite(targetPin,HIGH); // write the buzzer pin high to push out the diaphram
delayMicroseconds(delayValue); // wait for the calculated delay value
digitalWrite(targetPin,LOW); // write the buzzer pin low to pull back the diaphram
delayMicroseconds(delayValue); // wait againf or the calculated delay value
}
}
