About this deal
The readings from the potentiometer are between 0 and 65535, and our buzzer duty (volume) uses the same range, so we can use the potentiometer readings to directly control the duty - handy! We're going to be adding components to our breadboard. Breadboards allow you to connect and prototype a circuit without soldering, using wires with pins at the end called jumper wires ( sometimes called DuPont wires). Welcome to day five of your 12 Projects of Codemas Advent Calendar. Today we’ll be making sounds with our code using the custom buzzer you've just discovered in your box! Copy the code below over to Thonny and give it a try, then see if you can beat some of our staff record times below (the only rule is that only a single finger can be used). It's a great little game to set up over the festive period to challenge family and friends, and you get to show off your new kit and skills too!
Another great day of learning how to code with the Raspberry Pi Pico and MicroPython! Today you have: For new coders - The included Pico H and project parts, combined with the easy-to-follow instructions, clear example code and helpful wiring diagrams make this perfect for anyone wanting to get started with the Raspberry Pi Pico, programming and electronics. The blinky theme keeps it fun and festive too!

just called it a 'calendar' it would be a little confusing!). If it means we end up on the naughty list, so be it... This leaves plenty of time for customers to receive their calendars in time for the 1st December start date. We're specifically using GPIO27 as this is one of the Pico's ADC pins. But what is an ADC? ADC Pins Let's start with a simple program that continually prints the analogue reading from our potentiometer.
The program for this is very similar, however we change the LED control section to turn each LED on one by one, turning off the others as we go.note = random.randint(100, 500) + int(newReading / 40) # noise chosen randomly + added pitch from the new reading
