tone(pin, frequency)
Generates a PWM wave at the specified pin and frequency with a duty cycle of (50%). The generated wave will not stop until you call noTone(pin) .
Parameters
pin - The GPIO pin number.
frequency - PWM frequency (in hz). Available ranges are between 19 and 37500.
Returns
None
Example
#include <Arduino.h>
int GPIO_PIN = 12; // GPIO12
void setup() {
pinMode(GPIO_PIN, PWM_OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
// Set frequency tone to 1 KHz
tone(GPIO_PIN, 1000);
// Delay 5 seconds
delay(5000);
// Stop the tone
noTone(GPIO_PIN);
// Delay 5 seconds
delay(5000);
}Notes
- PWM_OUTPUT mode uses the internal PWM hardware of the BCM283x SoC.
The available PWM pins are the followings:
| GPIO PIN | Available in RPi (40-pins) connector | PWM channel |
|---|---|---|
| 12 | YES | 0 |
| 13 | YES | 1 |
| 18 | YES | 0 |
| 19 | YES | 1 |
| 40 | NO | 0 |
| 41 | NO | 1 |
| 45 | NO | 1 |
| 52 | NO | 0 |
| 53 | NO | 1 |
