    Hi,

    I want to use the tone like functionality that is there in Arduino using Breakout. I tried using the oscillator example for this. But I am not getting the same output sound out of the buzzer as like a Tone function. What should I do ?

    That’s because the oscillator is only useful at low frequencies. However, someone is working on adding Tone support to Firmata: https://github.com/firmata/arduino/pull/93. Once this is in place I’ll be able to add a tone object to Breakout.

    Ok. Thanks for this info.

    BTW, Is there any other existing Firmata implementation (with JS or other language) which has this tone functionality implemented ?

    Not that I’m aware of. I’ll try to add Tone to the configurable branch in Firmata sometime this weekend.

    That would be great !

    One more question. Can you give me some pointers to adding a new functionality (eg. the tone functionality) to the Breakout code ? Where do I need to make that change in the JS files ?

    I just push a tone branch: https://github.com/firmata/arduino/tree/tone. Have only tested this in Arduino 1.0.5 so far. Replace the Firmata directory in Arduino 1.0.5 with the contents of the tone branch. Then load File -> Examples -> Firmata -> ConfigurableFirmata to your board.

    Here is Breakout code to test it with: http://breakoutjs.com/examples/test/tone_simple.html

    Hey !

    Sorry for the late reply. Got busy with some work.

    The tone functionality works pretty well. Thanks for putting up the example. After seeing it, I found out it wasn’t too difficult to add this and other features.

    Thanks again!
