DFRobot Oct 16 2018 260343

Components needed

1× Main control board of micro:bit
1× Expansion board of micro:bit
1× Rainbow LED strip
1× knob module
1× USB cable

Hardware Connection

Connect the knob module to the interface P1 of expansion board;
Connect the rainbow LED strip to the interface P2 of expansion board.

Program

Functions: Realize the music performance with the LED strip when adjusting the rotation angle of the knob.

When the knob is turned by hand, the value of the P1 pin changes from 0 to 1023 and is divided into 8 small ranges, corresponding to one octave "Do ~ Do’" in the music and the number of changing LEDs of the the light strip.

The input value of P1	Sound	The LED strip
0-128	Do	Light one LED
128-256	Re	Light two LEDs
256-384	Me	Light three LEDs
384-512	Fa	Light four LEDs
512-640	So	Light five LEDs
640-768	La	Light six LEDs
768-996	Ti	Lights seven LEDs
996-1023	Do’	Light seven LEDs in red

STEP1: the logic diagram to realize DJ bandstand.

STEP2: the editing of logic statement "if", the operations go as follows

STEP3: judge the range of the input value of the knob(P1) and make the value correspond to the LED strip and sound. The following is the control procedures in the first area.

STEP4: Since there are only 7 LEDs, so "Do’" can be expressed in a different way in the 8th zone.

STEP5：the final program

Exercises for improvement

Utilize the 5×5 LED matrix of the micro:bit. When different syllables are played, each of them should be correspondingly displayed by LEDs. Just have a try.
