Someone posted a link to a tutorial that no longer works.
I'm looking for a small Arduino and instructions how I can make it play sounds when a coin is interested. It could be using the built in tone generator (the one that sounds like old cell phone ringtones).
I'm not looking to use a coin acceptor. Just a slot and something small behind it. Technically you could slide anything past it to make a sound.
I just want a piggy bank that makes sounds.
So please post a link to that, so we can look at what actually does not work.
There is no built in sound generator on any Arduino board. However you might mean the tone library which should be included as parts of the Arduino core software.
But it doesn't sound like an old cell phone ring. It requires a passive piezo buzzer not an active one. An active one is one that sounds if you just connect it to a battery. Where as a passive buzzer simply clicks when connected to a battery.
What do you mean post a link? The link doesn't work is what I said. Hence why I'm here trying to find a link to a tutorial.
The other one used some kind of tone generator built into the Arduino in order to make the sound.
You actually said
So that could be interpreted as the tutorial is not working, which is what I took it to mean, but you really meant the the link does not work.
That is why punctuation is so very important. I venture to say you should have framed your question as:-

Yes I thought you wanted to make a noise when your coin is inserted, I was tricked by the question in the title.
Apparently you don't want to know anything.
Man are you confusing. Now you say I don't even want to make a sound when I coin is inserted even though that's what the title says. Never mind, I'll just search elsewhere for the help I need.
Grumpy, Mike is definitely an accurate description of your name. Maybe add rude to it also.
