The music box has a micro switch used to start the music when the box lid is opened, or can be triggered by a passing coin in to a money box. The kit can be used with your choice of 8 pin PIC processor and flowchart software. A simple programming task allows you to play a tune of their choice when the switch it activated. The kit is compatible with most educational PICs & software inlcuding the PIC Logicator and PICAXE. Programming is via a 3.5mm jack interface. Processor not included.

Please see the music box tasks resource page to download programming guides and example tasks. We stock the PICAXE range of PIC's and recommend the 08M2 (which supersedes the 08M).

You can also download the PICAXE resources from our own 'Downloads' tab.
