A duration can be specified, otherwise the wave +continues until a call to +`noTone <http://arduino.cc/en/Reference/NoTone>`_\ (). The pin can be +connected to a piezo buzzer or other speaker to play tones. + + + +Only one tone can be generated at a time. If a tone is already +playing on a different pin, the call to tone() will have no effect. +If the tone is playing on the same pin, the call will set its +frequency. + + + +Use of the tone() function will interfere with PWM output on pins 3 +and 11 (on boards other than the Mega). + + + +**NOTE:** if you want to play different pitches on multiple pins, +you need to call noTone() on one pin before calling tone() on the +next pin. + + + +Syntax +------ + +tone(pin, frequency) +tone(pin, frequency, duration) + + + +Parameters +---------- + +pin: the pin on which to generate the tone + + + +frequency: the frequency of the tone in hertz + + + +duration: the duration of the tone in milliseconds (optional) + + + +Returns +------- + +nothing + + + +See also +-------- + + +- `noTone <http://arduino.cc/en/Reference/NoTone>`_\ () +- `analogWrite <http://arduino.cc/en/Reference/AnalogWrite>`_\ () +- `Tutorial:Tone <http://arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/Tone>`_ +- `Tutorial:Pitch follower <http://arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/Tone2>`_ +- `Tutorial:Simple Keyboard <http://arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/Tone3>`_ +- `Tutorial: multiple tones <http://arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/Tone4>`_ + + +- `Tutorial: PWM <http://arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/PWM>`_ + + + +.. include:: /lang/cc-attribution.txt |
