HAPPY BIRTHDAY

 
Why spend $10.00 on a Happy Birthday musical card when you can produce the tune yourself. 
This project uses just 4 components and a small prototype PC board to produce a project that will teach you a lot
about programming. 
The circuit uses a piezo diaphragm connected to pins 3 and 5. 
That's the only component. 
All the work is done by the program. 
The project is so easy, we don't need to provide any construction details.

The PIC chip on a prototype PC board

Here are the files:
HappyBirthday.asm 
HappyBirthday.hex

Here is the program. 

You must use the .hex file to "burn" the chip or the .asm file as these are laid out so that the compiler and
programmer can understand the data. 
The following program is just for viewing.

GOING FURTHER
This project provides you with the tools to create your own tune or download one of the "old favourites" and
annoy everyone in the household with its incessant playing.
