BS2 Music Needed

The Doctor

I have a string of LEDs on the front of my 'Bot that cycle like the scanners on KITT from Knight Rider.· I was thinking it would be cool to have the 'Bot play the first 15 seconds or so from the Knight Rider theme.· Anyone out there have the time and musical inclination to be able to write the code for that?

Here is about the first 15 seconds worth of sheet music.

The treble clef lines: E G B D F· (Every Good Boy Does Fine)
And between lines: F A C E

The bass clef lines: G B D F A (Good Boys Do Fine Always)
And between lines: A C E G (All Cows Eat Grass)

And the BASIC Stamp book has a frequency chart in it for each note.

If you have the same speaker as I do, you'll probably need one speaker for treble and one for bass... unless you've figured out how to play two tones out of the same speaker.

Yeah, it's not what you asked for, but it was fun looking that stuff up...

dun-na dun-na dun-na·*beat* dun-na·*beat*·dun-na...·"Knight Rider".· I'll have that going through my head all night.

Thanks! All I wanted was the dun-na dun-na part anyway, so one speaker should work. My wife knows how to read sheet music, so I will get her to help translate. Thanks again!

I'm pretty sure in Make Magazine's podcast on getting started with the BS2 the program plays the Knight Rider (amongst other songs) theme.

If you are looking for an easy way to add sound check out the Sound Pal (www.parallax.com/Store/Accessories/Sound/tabid/164/CategoryID/38/List/0/Level/a/ProductID/482/Default.aspx?SortField=ProductName%2cProductName
I have not used it but it looks pretty simple to use to convert the sheet music into your project.

I had the same problem so I wrote a program:
