Short video (m4v) of a piezo, photoresistor and Arduino….

Here’s the breadboard view to wire this up yourself…

And.. here’s the code we used from TodBot!

 
 
int photosensorPin = 0;
int piezoPin = 9;

int val = 0;

void setup() {
  pinMode(piezoPin, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  digitalWrite(piezoPin, LOW);
  val = analogRead(photosensorPin);
  val = val/2;

  for( int i=0; i// play it for 50 cycles
    digitalWrite(piezoPin, HIGH);
    delayMicroseconds(val);
    digitalWrite(piezoPin, LOW);
    delayMicroseconds(val);
  }
}

   Cool little project. I just bought a photoresistor but didn’t know what to do with it. I’ll try this soon!

   Also: how did you do the breadboard/Arduino diagram? From scratch or is there a template that can be used with other software?

   check out fritzing.org – that’s how we make the diagrams.

   It looks like the source code was accidentally mutilated.

   fixed – we were adding some new formatting.

   The “for” Loop needs to be updated with “piezoPin” instead of “speakerPin” in the digitalWrite elements.
