or if you don't want to use a transistor connect a speaker(or a piezo buzzer) between Arduino pin 10 and GND. Now the code part:
/*
* It sends a square wave of the appropriate frequency to the piezo, generating
* the corresponding tone.
*
* The calculation of the tones is made following the mathematical
* operation:
*
* timeHigh = period / 2 = 1 / (2 * toneFrequency)
*
* where the different tones are described as in the table:
*
* note frequency period timeHigh
* c 261 Hz 3830 1915
* d 294 Hz 3400 1700
* e 329 Hz 3038 1519
* f 349 Hz 2864 1432
* g 392 Hz 2550 1275
* a 440 Hz 2272 1136
* b 493 Hz 2028 1014
* C 523 Hz 1912 956

The code is well commented and easy to understand.
Here, we define an array called "notes" and "beats":
char notes[] = "ccggaagffeeddc ";
int beats[] = { 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 4 };
These are the notes for "Happy Birthday" song and beats basically signifies the duration of a particular note(the relation being, duration=beats*tempo).
The variable "length" specifies the length or the number of notes in the song.
int length = 11;
Here we also have two user defined functions called :
void playTone(int tone, int duration)
void playNote(char note, int duration)
The function playNote() reads one note at a time, determines the T_HIGH(high time) corresponding to note. for example: 'c' corresponds to a frequency of 261Hz. Thus time period, T=1/261=3830usec. For simplicity, we consider duty cycle of 50%.Thus T_HIGH=T_LOW=T/2=1915usec.
The function playTone() generates a tone of frequency specified by playNote function.
void setup() initialises pin 10 of Arduino as output.
void loop() takes one note at a time and sends it to function playNote().
One can also generate any sound/tone of choice just by changing 3 lines in the code.
1) char notes[]
2) int beats[]
3) int length
You can play "Twinkle Twinkle little stars" by setting
1) char notes[]={“ccggaagffeeddc “};
2) int beats[]= { 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 4 };
3) int length=15;
I will post the video soon....!!!!
Till then enjoy....
