Rhythm Machine
Create programmable rhythm patterns with a buzzer
Watch the circuit build itself: components drop in, wires connect, and the output comes alive.
Components
Everything you need for this project.
1x Passive buzzer
2x Tactile push buttons
2x 10KΩ resistors
1x Green LED
1x 220Ω resistor
6x jumper wires
How It Works
Arrays and sequences, PWM frequency control, user input handling, combinational logic, and creative expression through technology.
What You Build
Two buttons for beat input on D1/D2, buzzer on D3, LED on D4. Record a rhythm pattern, play it back in a loop.
African Context
Music and rhythm are central to African culture. This project connects technology to creative expression: beatboxing through circuits.
What You'll See
Press buttons to record beats. Playback loops the pattern through the buzzer with visual beat indicator on LED.
