  Murry,
  
  If you have the RTTTL script, you can modify Parallax's rtttl_convert.bs2 to output code you can cut and paste into your program. Just change the subroutine PlayNote as follows:
  
  

  ' -----[noparse][[/noparse] Subroutine - Find Comma and Play Note/Duration ]-----------------
  
    PlayNote:                                  ' Find last comma in the
                                               ' current note entry.  Then,
      READ RTTTL_File + counter, char          ' fetch the note frequency
      SELECT char                              ' from data, and play it, or
        CASE ","                               ' pause if frequency = 0.
          counter = counter + 1
          READ Octave8 + (index * 2), Word noteFreq
          noteOctave = 8 - noteOctave
          noteFreq = noteFreq / (DCD noteOctave)
          IF noteFreq = 0 THEN
             DEBUG "PAUSE ", DEC duration, CR
          ELSE
            DEBUG "FREQOUT iopin, ", DEC duration, ",", DEC noteFreq, CR
          ENDIF
      ENDSELECT
  
      RETURN
  
  
  

  
  
  Rather than performing the PAUSEs and FREQOUTs, it will output them to the DEBUG screen as PBASIC statements.

  Where can I find the rtttl_convert.bs2 listing?

  Rich,
  
  The RTTTL program is supposed to be on this page. Unfortunately, the link to the code is dead, so I'll attach it here.

  Our town had a parade today, and I thought it'd be nice to have a stamp playing the star spangled banner while we were rolling along on our various unpowered vehicles (wife in wheelchair, son on ripstick, and daughter on bike, and me pushing said wheelchair). Unfortunately, although I found this thread, I didn't find actual notes and things. Performing a search on google only got me a bunch of rtl links (hello google, I typed in rttl, not rtl) But anyway, even though the parade is over, I'd still like to do this, since I think it'd be a cool project, especially since I was planning to run it on a solar panel (maybe multiples if necessary) So, does anyone know where I can obtain the notes and such needed to use a button speaker on an stamp homework board?
