How to tune the meow?

Hi,

In OpenCat.h, you can find two function for sound

void beep(int8_t note, float duration = 10, int pause = 0, byte repeat = 1 ) {
  if (note == 0) {//rest note
    analogWrite(BUZZER, 0);
    delay(duration);
    return;
  }
  int freq = 220 * pow(1.059463, note - 1); // 1.059463 comes from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twelfth_root_of_two
  float period = 1000000.0 / freq;
  for (byte r = 0; r < repeat; r++) {
    for (float t = 0; t < duration * 1000; t += period) {
      analogWrite(BUZZER, 150);      // Almost any value can be used except 0 and 255
      // experiment to get the best tone
      delayMicroseconds(period / 2);        // rise for half period
      analogWrite(BUZZER, 0);       // 0 turns it off
      delayMicroseconds(period / 2);        // down for half period
    }
    delay(pause);
  }
}
void playMelody(int start) {
  byte len = (byte)EEPROM.read(start) / 2;
  for (int i = 0; i < len; i++)
    beep(EEPROM.read(start - 1 - i), 1000 / EEPROM.read(start - 1 - len - i), 100);
}

void meow(int repeat = 0, int pause = 200, int startF = 50,  int endF = 200, int increment = 5) {
  for (int r = 0; r < repeat + 1; r++) {
    for (int amp = startF; amp <= endF; amp += increment) {
      analogWrite(BUZZER, amp);
      delay(15); // wait for 15 milliseconds to allow the buzzer to vibrate
    }
    delay(100 + 500 / increment);
    analogWrite(BUZZER, 0);
    if (repeat)delay(pause);
  }
}

You can play with the parameters for the functions.

Note that the meow and musical tone are kind of mutual exclusive. It's better to use an active buzzer to generate meow, and a passive buzzer to generate musical tone. On NyBoard, I'm using an active buzzer, so the music tone is less accurate. You could attach a passive buzzer on the unused pins. I think it's around $2 on eBay.

Until I have the passive buzzer I commented out all but battery low notification.
