Test the result
After upload, try it to check whether you can hear the song Twinkle Twinkle Little Star as supposed?

  • Q: Why dose the music sound vague, while the program is right, there is no pause between two notes?
  • A: We can add a "buzzer off" program block to the end of each note.



Delay 500ms, so that this mote can last for one beat; add "Buzzer off" and "delay" program block to make the note pause for 50ms, separating from the next not.
