This is the code for our Pico-Piano

Go check out our video giving you instructions on how to use this code or follow the instructions below:

For CircuitPython on line 8 and 9 where the code says:

    probe_pin = board.GP26_A0
    speaker_pin = board.GP18

You can replace the .GP26_A0 with GPyour analog pin_A0 . You can also replace the .GP18 with .GP your speaker PWM pin .

For MicroPython on line 5 and 6 where the code says:

    probe_pin = 26
    speaker_pin = 2

You replace the 26 with Your analog pin and the 2 with your speaker PWM pin.

On line 14 in CircuitPython or 10 in MicroPython where the code says:

    min_probe_val = 1500

You can replace 1500 with your minimum probe value eg: the highest number it prints when your probe isn't touching any key/resistor!

On line 15 and 16 for CircuitPython or 11 and 12 in MicroPython where the code says:

    e_minor = [[8000, "E4"], [13000, "G4"], [19000, "A4"], [30000, "B4"], [66000,"D5"]]
    diatonic = [[2500,"C4"],[3000,"C#4"],[3600,"D4"]]

We have given you some notes that sound good together that you can edit or you could even make a new list below for your custom notes! Example:

    custom = [[your probe value,"C"], [your other probe value, "E"] ext...]

You then have to go to line 41 in CircuitPython or 37 in MicroPython where it says: loaded_list = note_to_freq_list(e_minor) and then replace (e_minor) with your custom list - in my example I would replace it with custom.

At the bottom on line 45 in CircuitPython or 41 in MicroPython where it says: update_tone(loaded_list,True)

You have the option of printing the probe value(for debuging) which will have a 1 second delay or having it off - with no delay! You can do this by putting a True like we already have or getting rid of it for no delay if you don't want to debug!
