An Instrument That You Play With Your Pee

Made by Maxwell-James / Environmental Sensing / Music / Robotics / Sensors

About the project

This is an instrument that you play with your pee. Using scotch tape, tinfoil, and electrical tinkering pieces I put together an instrument that you play with your pee. Its cool to people who don't know how it works, and basic to veterans. Sorry if the image isn't 100% accurate.

Story

The-Pisstrument

This is an instrument that you play with your pee.

I made this using scotch tape, tinfoil, and an arduino.
Add the Piss-trument.ino code to the arduino software and connect everything accordind to my schematics.

PLEASE NOTE: In the schematics, it looks like the wires leadind to the digital pins are connected after the diodes but that is just overlap.
Those wires are really connected after the switches and before the diodes.

The video has a better explanation.

PLEASE NOTE: Its looks like the wires connecting to the digital pins are connected after the diodes. Not the case, that's just over lap. Instead, the digital pin wires are connected after the switches and before the diodes.

Code

Arduino uno Code for Piss-trument

void setup() {
  // put your setup code here, to run once:
  pinMode(3, INPUT);
  pinMode(4, INPUT);
  pinMode(5, INPUT);
  pinMode(6, INPUT);
  pinMode(7, INPUT);
  pinMode(8, INPUT);
  pinMode(9, INPUT);
  pinMode(10, OUTPUT);

}

void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:

  if (digitalRead(3) == HIGH) {
    tone(10, 300, 1000);
  } else if (digitalRead(4) == HIGH) {
    tone(10, 100, 1000);
  } else if (digitalRead(5) == HIGH) {
    tone(10, 200, 1000);
  } else if (digitalRead(6) == HIGH) {
    tone(10, 400, 1000);
  } else if (digitalRead(7) == HIGH) {
    tone(10, 500, 1000);
  } else if (digitalRead(8) == HIGH) {
    tone(10, 600, 1000);
  } else if (digitalRead(9) == HIGH) {
    tone(10, 700, 1000);
  }
