// TONES ==========================================
// Start by defining the relationship between
// note, period, & frequency.
#define c 3830 // 261 Hz
#define d 3400 // 294 Hz
#define e 3038 // 329 Hz
#define f 2864 // 349 Hz
#define g 2550 // 392 Hz
#define a 2272 // 440 Hz
#define b 2028 // 493 Hz
#define C 1912 // 523 Hz
// Define a special note, 'R', to represent a rest
#define R 0
// SETUP ============================================
// Set up speaker on a PWM pin (digital 9, 10 or 11)
int speakerOut = 9;
void setup() {
pinMode(speakerOut, OUTPUT);
}
// MELODY and TIMING =======================================
// melody[] is an array of notes, accompanied by beats[],
// which sets each note's relative length (higher #, longer note)
int melody[] = { a, a, a, a, a, a, a, C, f, g, a,
b, b , b, b, b, a, a, a, a, a, g, g, a, g, C, R};

// Set overall tempo

// Loop variable to increase Rest length
int rest_count = 100; //<-BLETCHEROUS HACK; See NOTES
// Initialize core variables
int tone_ = 0;
int beat = 0;
long duration = 0;
// PLAY TONE ==============================================
// Pulse the speaker to play a tone for a particular duration
void playTone() {
long elapsed_time = 0;
if (tone_ > 0) { // if this isn't a Rest beat, while the tone has
// played less long than 'duration', pulse speaker HIGH and LOW
while (elapsed_time < duration) {
digitalWrite(speakerOut,HIGH);
delayMicroseconds(tone_ / 2);
// DOWN
digitalWrite(speakerOut, LOW);
delayMicroseconds(tone_ / 2);

}
}
else { // Rest beat; loop times delay
for (int j = 0; j < rest_count; j++) { // See NOTE on rest_count
delayMicroseconds(duration);
}
}
}
// LET THE WILD RUMPUS BEGIN =============================
void loop() {
// Set up a counter to pull from melody[] and beats[]
for (int i=0; i<MAX_COUNT; i++) {
tone_ = melody[i];
beat = beats[i];
duration = beat * tempo; // Set up timing
