- There are 20 small pins numbered sequentially from 3-22 (these pins are not labeled on the micro:bit, however, they are labelled in the picture above).
40
-
41
- Unlike the three large pins that are dedicated to being used for external connections, some of the small pins are shared with other components on the micro:bit board. For example, pin 3 is shared with some of the LEDs on the screen of the micro:bit, so if you are using the screen to scroll messages, you can’t use this pin as well.
42
-
43
- * **pin 3**: GPIO shared with LED Col 1 of the LED screen; can be used for ADC and digital I/O when the LED screen is turned off.
44
- * **pin 4**: GPIO shared with LED Col 2 of the LED screen; can be used for ADC and digital I/O when the LED screen is turned off.
45
- * **pin 5**: GPIO shared with Button A. This lets you trigger or detect a button "A" click externally. This pin has a pull-up resistor, which means that by default it is at voltage of 3V. To replace button A on the micro:bit with an external button, connect one end of the external button to pin 5 and the other end to GND. When the button is pressed, the voltage on pin 5 is pulled down to 0, which generates a button click event.
46
- * **pin 6**: GPIO shared with LED Col 9 of the LED screen; can be used for digital I/O when the LED screen is turned off.
47
- * **pin 7**: GPIO shared with LED Col 8 of the LED screen; can be used for digital I/O when the LED screen is turned off.
48
- * **pin 8**: Dedicated GPIO, for sending and sensing digital signals.
49
- * **pin 9**: GPIO shared with LED Col 7 of the LED screen; can be used for digital I/O when the LED screen is turned off.
50
- * **pin 10**: GPIO shared with LED Col 3 of the LED screen; can be used for ADC and digital I/O when the LED screen is turned off.
51
- * **pin 11**: GPIO shared with Button B. This lets you trigger or detect a button “B” click externally.
52
- * **pin 12**: this GPIO pin has been reserved to provide support for accessibility.
53
- * **pin 13**: GPIO that is conventionally used for the serial clock (SCK) signal of the 3-wire Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) bus.
54
- * **pin 14**: GPIO that is conventionally used for the Master In Slave Out (MISO) signal of the SPI bus.
55
- * **pin 15**: GPIO that is conventionally used for the Master Out Slave In (MOSI) signal of the SPI bus.
56
- * **pin 16**: Dedicated GPIO (conventionally also used for SPI ‘Chip Select’ function).
57
- * **pins 17 and 18**: these pins are wired to the 3V supply, like the large ‘3V’ pad.
58
- * **pins 19 and 20**: implement the clock signal (SCL) and data line (SDA) of the I2C bus communication protocol. With I2C, several devices can be connected on the same bus and send/read messages to and from the CPU. Internally, the accelerometer and the compass are connected to i2c.
59
- * **pins 21 and 22**: these pins are wired to the GND pin and serve no other function

+ A guitar is a plucked stringed musical instrument. Normally, the guitar is an expensive instrument, but here we create a cheap and convenient DIY instrument that can help you enjoy and play real chords on an electric micro:bit guitar. Have fun and enjoy playing the micro:bit guitar by shifting the pitch up and down octaves.
4
+
5
+ ## How it Works?
6
+
7
+ When you touch pin **1** or pin **2** and **GND** it will play a broken chord, but now you can move the chord down an octave (lowering its pitch) by pressing button **A** and move it up an octave (raising its pitch) by pressing button **B**.
8
+
9
+ The pitch (frequency) of a note doubles when you move up one octave: `middle A` has a frequency of 440Hz (440 vibrations per second), `high A` has a frequency of 880Hz. This is why making the vibrating part of guitar strings different lengths with your fingers changes the pitch of the note being played.
10
+

+ ## Materials you need

+
13
+ * micro:bit and optional battery pack
14
+ * 4 crocodile clip leads
15

+ The ``||music:play sound||`` block lets you create and play complex sounds beyond the simple sequence of tones in a melody. You can choose a sound waveform, change its frequency or volume, and add custom effects. Here's a program you can code to create fun bird sounds when you shake or tilt the @boardname@!
4
+
5
+ ## Use acceleration to set frequency
6
+
7
+ The acceleration in the `X`and `Y` dimensions are used to set the frequencies of the sound. Make two variables named ``||variables:currFreq||`` and ``||variables:lastFreq||``. One variable will hold the value for the current freqency as an input of accleration in the `X` direction. The other will remember the previous frequency value.
8
+
9
+ Get a ``||loops:forever||`` block and pull the ``||variables:set currFreq||`` and ``||variables:set lastFreq||`` blocks into it. Change the value for ``||variables:set lastFreq||`` from `0` to ``||variables:currFreq||``.
10
+
11
+ ```blocks
12
+ let currfreq = 0
13
+ let lastfreq = 0
14
+ basic.forever(function () {
15
+ currfreq = 0
16
+ lastfreq = currfreq
17
+ })
18
+ ```
19
+
20
+ Pull a ``||math:map from to||`` block into the value slot of the ``||variables:set currFreq||``. Use ``||input:acceleration (mg) x||`` as the mapping value, set the `from` value range as `-1024` and `1023`. Set the `to` value range as `0` and `5000`.
21
+
22
+ ```blocks
23
+ let currfreq = 0
24
+ let lastfreq = 0
25
+ basic.forever(function () {
26
+ currfreq = Math.map(input.acceleration(Dimension.X), -1024, 1023, 1, 5000)
27
+ lastfreq = currfreq
28
+ })
29
+ ```
30
+
31
+ Go get a ``||music:play sound until done||`` block and place it in between the ``||variables:set currFreq||`` and ``||variables:set lastFreq||``.
32
+
33
+ ```blocks
34
+ let currFreq = 0
35
+ let lastFreq = 0
36
+ basic.forever(function () {
37
+ currFreq = Math.map(input.acceleration(Dimension.X), -1024, 1023, 0, 5000)
38
+ music.playSoundEffect(music.createSoundEffect(WaveShape.Sine, 5000, 0, 255, 0, 500, SoundExpressionEffect.None, InterpolationCurve.Linear), SoundExpressionPlayMode.UntilDone)
39
+ lastFreq = currFreq
40
+ })
41
+ ```
42
+
43
+ Expand the sound effect parameters in ``||music:play sound until done||`` by clicking the **(+)** symbol. Duplicate **2** ``||math:map from to||`` blocks from ``||variables:set currFreq||`` and place one in the `start frequency` value and the other in the `end frequency` value. Change the acceleration direction in the `end frequency` value to the `y` direction.
44
+
45
+ ```blocks
46
+ let currFreq = 0
47
+ let lastFreq = 0
48
+ basic.forever(function () {
49
+ currFreq = Math.map(input.acceleration(Dimension.X), -1024, 1023, 0, 5000)

59
+ ```
60
+
61
+ ## Add duration and volume
62
+
63
+ Click the **(+)** symbol again on the sound effect block inside of ``||music:play sound until done||``. This will show the volume parameters.
64
+
65
+ Pull out **3** ``||math:pick random||`` blocks and put them in for the values of `duration`, `start volume`, and `end volume`. For `duration`, use a range of `40` to `100`. For both `start volume` and `end volume`, use a random range of `0` to `1024`.

  The **magic** here is really in the code. This trick uses a magnet, hidden in your hand, to tell the @boardname@ to swap over the buttons. When the magnet is near the @boardname@, the **A** button starts working like the **B** button and the **B** button starts working like the **A** button. Tricky!
