Number systems are the methods we use to represent numbers. Binary just uses two digits, 0 and 1. Binary is also known as a base-2 number system.
In the base-10 number system, each digit represents a value of 10x, where X is the digit
placement from the right, starting from zero and multiplying by that digit value. For example,
123 in decimal is:
1×10^2+3×10^1+3×10^0=123.
123 in binary would be:
1×2^6+1×2^5+1×2^4+1×2^3+0×2^2+1×2^1+1×2^0=123.
Let's create a counter that counts in binary.
int button = 2; //set to correct pin
int presses = 0;
long time = 0;
long debounce = 100;
const byte numPins = 3; //number of pins we use
byte LEDpins[] = {3, 4, 5}; //set to correct pins
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
for(int i = 0; i < numPins; i++) {
pinMode(LEDpins[i], OUTPUT);
}
pinMode(button, INPUT_PULLUP); //monitors the state of a switch
attachInterrupt(0, count, LOW); //function count is triggerd when pin 0 is LOW
}
void loop() {
String binNumber = String(presses, BIN); //give a string of binary number
int binLength = binNumber.length(); //get the length from binary number
boolean led0 = binNumber.charAt(binNumber.length()-1)=='1'; //search for '1' at specific location, true when '1' is found
boolean led1 = binNumber.charAt(binNumber.length()-2)=='1';
boolean led2 = binNumber.charAt(binNumber.length()-3)=='1';
if(presses <= 7) {
digitalWrite(LEDpins[0],led0);
digitalWrite(LEDpins[1],led1);
digitalWrite(LEDpins[2],led2);
} else {
presses = 0;
}
}
void count() {
if(millis() - time > debounce){
presses++;
}
time = millis();
}
If your Arduino application only needs to display numbers, consider using a seven-segment display. The severn-segment display has seven LEDs arranged in the shape of number eight. They are easy to use and cost effective. The picture below shows a typical seven-segment display.
Seven segment displays are of two types: common anode and common cathode. The Internal structure of both types is nearly the same. The difference is the polarity of the LEDs and common terminal.
In a common cathode seven-segment display, all seven LEDs plus a dot LED have the cathodes connected to pins 2 and pin 8. To use this display, we need to connect GROUND to pin 2 and pin 8 and, and connect +5V to the other pins to make the individual segments light up.
The common anode display is the exact opposite. In a common-anode display, the positive terminal of all the eight LEDs are connected together and then connected to pin 3 and pin 8. To turn on an individual segment, you ground one of the pins.
The seven segment are labelled a-g, with the dot being "dp," as shown in the figure below:
To display a particular number, you turn on the individual segments as shown in the table below:
In this experiment, we will simply turn on and turn off the LEDs to get familiar with how a seven-segment display works.

}In this tutorial, we are going to Interface piezo buzzer or piezo speaker with Arduino UNO. A piezo buzzer is generally used to signal user in the form of tone or beep. This type of buzzer widely used in alarm, domestic gadgets or in embedded systems product to provide some kind of indication or alert.Buy designing a small circuit we can interface it easily with Arduino. We will design a small transistorized circuit and by providing high signal we can get a tone signal from the piezo buzzer.
const int buzzer = 9; //buzzer to arduino pin 9
void setup(){
pinMode(buzzer, OUTPUT); // Set buzzer - pin 9 as an output
}
void loop(){
tone(buzzer, 1000); // Send 1KHz sound signal...
delay(1000); // ...for 1 sec
noTone(buzzer); // Stop sound...
delay(1000); // ...for 1sec
}// TONES ==========================================
// Start by defining the relationship between
// note, period, & frequency.
#define c 3830 // 261 Hz
#define d 3400 // 294 Hz
#define e 3038 // 329 Hz
#define f 2864 // 349 Hz
#define g 2550 // 392 Hz
#define a 2272 // 440 Hz
#define b 2028 // 493 Hz
#define C 1912 // 523 Hz
// Define a special note, 'R', to represent a rest
#define R 0
// SETUP ============================================
// Set up speaker on a PWM pin
int speakerOut = 9;
// Do we want debugging on serial out? 1 for yes, 0 for no
int DEBUG = 1;
void setup() {
pinMode(speakerOut, OUTPUT);
if (DEBUG) {
Serial.begin(9600); // Set serial out if we want debugging
}
}
// MELODY and TIMING =======================================
// melody[] is an array of notes, accompanied by beats[],
// which sets each note's relative length (higher #, longer note)
int melody[] = { C, b, g, C, b, e, R, C, c, g, a, C };
int beats[] = { 16, 16, 16, 8, 8, 16, 32, 16, 16, 16, 8, 8 };
int MAX_COUNT = sizeof(melody) / 2; // Melody length, for looping.
// Set overall tempo
long tempo = 10000;
// Set length of pause between notes
int pause = 1000;
// Loop variable to increase Rest length
int rest_count = 100; //<-BLETCHEROUS HACK; See NOTES
// Initialize core variables
int tone_ = 0;
int beat = 0;
long duration = 0;
// PLAY TONE ==============================================
// Pulse the speaker to play a tone for a particular duration
void playTone() {
long elapsed_time = 0;
if (tone_ > 0) { // if this isn't a Rest beat, while the tone has
// played less long than 'duration', pulse speaker HIGH and LOW
while (elapsed_time < duration) {
digitalWrite(speakerOut,HIGH);
delayMicroseconds(tone_ / 2);
// DOWN
digitalWrite(speakerOut, LOW);
delayMicroseconds(tone_ / 2);
// Keep track of how long we pulsed
elapsed_time += (tone_);
}
}
else { // Rest beat; loop times delay
for (int j = 0; j < rest_count; j++) { // See NOTE on rest_count
delayMicroseconds(duration);
}
}
}
// LET THE WILD RUMPUS BEGIN =============================
void loop() {
// Set up a counter to pull from melody[] and beats[]
for (int i=0; i<MAX_COUNT; i++) {
tone_ = melody[i];
beat = beats[i];
duration = beat * tempo; // Set up timing
playTone();
// A pause between notes...
delayMicroseconds(pause);
