```
|
|
|
|
## Step 1: Make a Smiley
|
|
Open @homeurl@ in your web browser
|
|
```blocks

```
|
|
From **Basics**, drag a **show LEDs** block into the coding area
|
|
* Create a face with LEDs
|
|
|
|
|
|
Connect your @boardname@ to your computer via USB and click **`Download`**.
|
|
Follow the instructions to move the code to your @boardname@.
|
|
|
|
## Step 2: Add Smiley LED Button Events
|
|
```blocks
|
|
input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, () => {
|
|
basic.showLeds(`
|
|
. # . # .
|
|
. . . . .
|

})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
From **Input**, drag an **on button 'A' pressed** block into the coding area
|
|
|
|
* Snap the LED face into the block
|
|
|
|
* Create a 'B' button block with a different LED face
|
|
|
|
* Download the code to your @boardname@ and try the A & B buttons
|
|
|

|
|
## Step 3: Add Headphone Speakers using Crocodile clips

|
|
Connect the headphones with crocodile clips
|
|
|
|
## ~hint
|
|
## The @boardname@ can play music
|
|
|
|
The **play tone** block allows a range letter note tones from **C** to **B5**.
|
|
Songs are played using sequences notes. Like the beginning of a birthday song (C, C, D, C, F, E).
|
|
```blocks
|
|
input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, () => {
|
|
music.playTone(Note.C, music.beat(BeatFraction.Quarter))
|
|
music.rest(music.beat(BeatFraction.Whole))
|
|
music.playTone(Note.C, music.beat(BeatFraction.Quarter))
|
|
music.rest(music.beat(BeatFraction.Whole))
|
|
music.playTone(Note.D, music.beat(BeatFraction.Quarter))
|
|
music.rest(music.beat(BeatFraction.Whole))
|
|
music.playTone(Note.C, music.beat(BeatFraction.Quarter))
|
|
music.rest(music.beat(BeatFraction.Whole))
|
|
music.rest(music.beat(BeatFraction.Whole))
|
|
music.playTone(Note.F, music.beat(BeatFraction.Half))
|
|
music.rest(music.beat(BeatFraction.Whole))
|
|
music.playTone(Note.E, music.beat(BeatFraction.Whole))
|
|
})
|
|
```
|

|
## Step 4: Add Tone Playing Events for Buttons A & B
|
|
```blocks
|
|
input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, () => {
|
|
basic.showLeds(`
|
|
. # . # .
|
|
. . . . .
|
|
. # # # .
|
|
. # . # .
|
|
. # # # .
|
|
`)
|
|
music.playTone(Note.A, music.beat(BeatFraction.Whole))
|
|
})
|
|
input.onButtonPressed(Button.B, () => {
|
|
basic.showLeds(`
|
|
. # . # .
|
|
. . . . .
|
|
. . . . .
|
|
# . . . #
|
|
. # # # .
|
|
`)
|
|
music.playTone(Note.G, music.beat(BeatFraction.Whole))
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
From **Music**, drag **play tone *C* for *1* beat** block under the **show leds** in **Button A Pressed**
|
|
|
|
* modify **tone** by choosing a note (*letter*) and experiment with high and low pitches
|
|
* set **beat** to 1
|
|
|
|
**Repeat** for **Button B** event
|
|
|
|
**Download the code** to the @boardname@
|
|
|
|
**Try the A & B buttons** with headphones and power connected
|
|
|
|
## Congratulations on completing the basic guitar!
|
|
**Challenge:** Create samples of longer music to play for each button instead of the single tone
|
|
* *Tip*: Search for "ABC music notation" or "Easy Music Notes" + the name of a song
