The project accomplished building a 4 key musical keyboard using a buzzer, 4 switches, and different resistors. The resistors get used to limit the voltage reading from the switches to easily discern their inputs as different or keys. This project utilized a resistor ladder to create the circuit flow. The most challenging aspect was ensuring the ladder worked properly, which mine didn’t. Only two of my switches worked. I’d rate the difficulty as intermediate because although I was able to get the build working in some capacity each minor issue was hard to troubleshoot. It took me about 2 hours to complete, but it possibly could’ve been faster. I could see this being modified to use a larger bread board to account for each note and something a bit closer to a full keyboard.
