microcontroller sound

Anybody have any idea on PIC micro controller sound generator circuit?
I wanna create a circuit with 2 selectable tones but don't know where to start.

The only way you can really do it is to send pulse trains to a single bit port. You can connect this to an amp, or even drive a high impedance speaker or transducer directly, if it is just for low level sounds. A single tone would be just switching the port on/off at a predetermined rate, usually by doing it in a loop. You even have pulsed tones by running a loop within another loop. Here is a little program I did with my son, several years ago, there are some sound loops within it, and it is written in CCS C.

/* Program by Chris Gill, Rastrick High "With help from Dad"
Little game for PIC 16F84 MCU (CCS C Compiler)

When the Green Led lights, you have to press the button
to raise up a column of leds. Pressing the button while the
Green Led is OFF will result in a lose. Pressing while the Green
Led is ON will result in another Red Led lighting (from the bottom up)
You win when all the Red Leds are lit. Losing and winning set off different
sounds and lights. Press then Release button to start. */

Sorry for some reason all of it was not sent. Let me know if it is useful, and I will send the rest. You can do a similar thing in basic, or any other language of course.

I Have sent it again for completeness. Hope it helps. Sorry, not very well structured. Done mostly by my son when he was around 13. May need slight alterations for later compilers. You should get the idea how sounds are made though. I did once find an article by googling, on playing tunes on a pic. This was done from data tables I think. MCUs tend not to have sound generation facilities built in, so all rather crude really, but it works after a fashion.

pic sound circuit

HI GrandAlf,

Thanks for the info.
Can a PIC 12F675 doing two selectable tone circuit? How? As I only have the PICkit2 & PIC 12F675 but don't know how to write the program & circuit design.

Please help guys.

microcontroller sound pic

Pretty much any pic should do, its quite a trivial program. Not sure what a Pikit2 is, but any programming language should allow you to read inputs, and generate a train of pulses as described. Basic is plenty fast enough for this, and easier to learn than C.

pic microcontroller circuit

PICkit2 is a programmer from Microchip to send data to its chip.

OK
You need a compiler to generate the hex file for the programmer, so you can get the data into the chip.

Suggest you google for "Pic Basic Compiler" or "Pic C Compiler". You should then be able obtain demo limited memory versions for free, or even some free full ones. Maybe you need to do a little reading, perhaps someone could suggest a good book on Pic programming?. You could always use assembly language, but thats kind of harder to start with.

pic based pulsed tone

ya I got the compiler, it came with the PICkit2.
I tried to learn myself but its hard to understand the programing language. So its better if U guys can give some idea where/how to start on learning PIC programing.

create sound pic circuit

I found some tutorial on the net but all is PIC16F84A, any how to start a program on PIC12F675?

Thanks in advance.
