Project 5: The Tune Wizard

The Tune Wizard allows musical tunes to be created for the micro-
controller. Tunes can be entered manually or imported from another
source. These tunes or ring tones are also available on the Internet,
and used on some cell phones. The tunes created by this micro-
controller can only play one note at a time (monophonic). The
micro-controller cannot play multiple note (polyphonic) ring tones
found also on the Internet. There are many tunes for free on
websites like:

www.ringtonerfest.com
www.free-ringtones.eu.com
www.tones4free.com

To start the Tune Wizard click the PICAXE

®

menu, then open

Wizards, and click on Ring Tone Tunes.


Start by opening a tune that already is on your computer. Click on
the File menu and select ‘Open’.
Find the Program Editor directory and open the Christmas_1 folder
as shown here.


Open this folder (you may have to unzip first time) and find the tune
“Santa clause is coming to town” and select it. The wizard should
load all the notes.
