Noisy Ornament 🔈🎄🎶

Generate tones by using tone library in your Raspberry Pi Pico.

The idea of this project is to use your Raspberry Pi Pico to generate christmas melodies so that you can put your board next to your christmas three and (Or as an Ornament) to have good memories from your childhood 🎄.

If you want to compile this project, you need to use this forked version of pico-extras which includes pico_tone library to generate tones.

There is a PR open to include pico_tone by default in the pico-extras library. In the meantime, it is possible to use the forked version of it.

pico_tone uses Pulse With Modulation (PWM) to generate tones, similar to tone() from Arduino.

Included Melodies

1. Noche de Paz 🌙🎄 (Silent Night)
2. El Ninio del Tambor 🧒🥁 (Rompomponpon)
3. La Cucaracha 🪳🇲🇽
4. Los Peces en el Rio 🐟🐟

Trying it out!

Follow the Quick-start your own project from pico-sdk to make sure your environment is setup correctly.

Below instructions are for Linux base platforms.

1. Clone pico-extras and noisy-ornament repositories.

$ git clone https://github.com/jcarranz97/pico-extras.git
$ git clone https://github.com/jcarranz97/noisy-ornament.git

2. Create PICO_EXTRAS_PATH environment variable with the path where pico-extras was cloned.

$ export PICO_EXTRAS_PATH=$(pwd)/pico-extras

3. Change directory to noisy-ornament and setup a CMake build directory.

$ cd noisy-ornament
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..

4. Compile project.

$ make -j(nproc)

5. Connect your Raspberry Pi Pico to your PC with BOOTSEL button pressed.
6. Copy noisy_ornament.uf2 file to your board.

$ cp noisy_ornament.uf2 <RPI-RP2 mount folder>

In my case, my Raspberry Pi Pico is always mounted under /media/juan/RPI-RP2
