Matthew's Coding Blog: Making a Jukebox

For this week's assignment, the objective of the project was to create a multi-button/multi-purpose jukebox with whatever you make innovate with from that point forward.

After wiring my jumpers to the correct areas of the breadboard, I was able to give power to my creation. In this project, I used makecode.microbit.org to create my tune for one button, the other, and the simultaneous press.

I utilized my red and green buttons to play different songs.

When pressing the green button, you will see the micro:bit display, "Halloween", across its LEDs as the theme song, composed by John Carpenter from the Halloween movie series, plays once until clicked again.

Moreover, when pressing the red button, you will see the micro:bit portrays, "Bohemian Rhapsody", a musical anthem composed by the groundbreaking rock band Queen, as the beginning words from Freddie Mercury, "Mama, just killed a man, put a gun against his head, put my gun against his head, pulled my trigger now he's dead..." are backed by the piano tune in which the speaker is playing.

Lastly, if one is to press both buttons, "Runaway" will move across the micro:bit LEDs as the iconic, inaugural piano notes from the hit single by Kanye West are played from the speaker.

Here are the videos from each song:

Bohemian Rhapsody:
