Ring Tone

Play a musical tone through pin P0 with the pitch as high or low as you say. The tone will keep playing until you tell it not to.

music.ringTone(440)

Parameters

• frequency is a number that says how high-pitched or low-pitched the tone is. This number is in Hz (Hertz), which is a measurement of frequency or pitch.

Example

This program checks the accelerometer for the micro:bit’s acceleration (how much the micro:bit is speeding up or slowing down). Then it uses that acceleration to make a tone. If the micro:bit speeds up, the tone’s pitch gets higher, and if it slows down, the tone’s pitch gets lower. It’s fun – try it!

basic.forever(() => {
    music.ringTone(input.acceleration(Dimension.X))
})

Using other pins

Use analogSetPitchPin to change that pin used to generate music.

pins.analogSetPitchPin(AnalogPin.P1);
