Random sounds!

You just learned in the “Cheep!” project how to make your 
KosmoDuino start beeping. But it can get a little boring 
listening to the same tone over and over. Here’s where you 
learn how to get random sounds out of your controller.

YOU WILL NEED 

› KosmoDuino in the interaction board

THE PLAN

The random generator will determine the pitch of the 
tones as well as their duration.

THE PROGRAM

The program is pretty simple. In 

setup()

, you give the 

random generator a starting value just as you did in the 
die-rolling project. 

Then, in the main loop, 

int freq = random(110,1000);

 

randomly determines the frequency (

freq

) of the next 

tone, and then its duration in the same manner. 

Finally, the tone is output with 

tone(buzzerPin,freq);

.  

At the end, 

delay(dauer);

 ensures that the tone is played 

for the duration indicated by 

duration

.

#include <KosmoBits_Pins.h>

const int buzzerPin = KOSMOBITS_BUZZER_PIN;

void setup() {
 randomSeed(analogRead(12));
}

void loop() {
  int freq = random(110, 1000);
  int duration = random(10, 150);
  tone(buzzerPin, freq);
 delay(duration);
}

SOUND

When the air pushing against our ear drums vibrates back 
and forth, we perceive it as sound. The faster the air 
vibrates, the higher the sound. Physicists measure that as 
“vibrations per second,” or frequency. The unit of frequency 
is known as a Hertz, abbreviated Hz. One Hertz means that 
the air completes one full oscillation (vibration back and 
forth) per second. The higher the frequency of a sound, the 
higher the pitch of the sound we hear. Humans can perceive 
sounds with frequencies between 16 and 20,000 Hertz. A 
lot of animals, on the other hand, are able to perceive 
sounds in the infrasonic and ultrasonic range.
