Code

Similar to my other case studies, I've taken great inspiration from the provided sample code. In fact, it served as a wonderful guide. As always with the Buzzer involved, my custom code is designed to play a section of a song on loop forever with the lights changing every note - just like a Disco Box. Try it out and guess the song while making it. I had fun making this and I hope you do too!

And if you don't want to try my code beacause it's way too long, I can respect and understand that. Below is the originally provided code for the Disco Box. And I deeply apologize again for the horrendous quality of the image. The image provided to us was already in that quality, unfortunately.

Buzzer

The Buzzer is really fun, I swear. It's sort of a mini programmable speaker and if you don't know how to use it, you probably should learn a thing or two about it first before making the Disco Box.

Ultrasonic Sensor

The Ultrasonic Sensor does not only sound cool, it is legitimately cool. What it does is produce Ultrasonic Sound Waves that bounce off surfaces once projected and when it returns to the sensor, it is then able to measure the di- I'm boring you aren't you? Just check the Case Study out, sorry.

Junkbot Core
(Arduino Board)

You'll need the the main board to do these case studies. It is based on the Arduino NANO. Check their site out for more details.

Sensors &
Components

You'll need many different sensors and components to put your board to use. Again, check their site out for more details.

A
Computer

You'll need a computer to program the codes that your board will perform along with the sensor and components attached. The programming tool made for the Junkbot Kit is also on their site.
