What is it?

Introducing a one-of-a-kind mechanical music box breakout board that stands out in its class. Crafted with precision and designed for enthusiasts, this board is engineered to play the timeless "When You Wish Upon a Star" tune. This is the classic song that is often played in the Disney Castle Intro. You can also change the internal music tune wheel to something else or 3D print and customize your own song. Check out the demonstration video below to experience the music firsthand. In this demo, the music box breakout board is linked to a rotary encoder button and an Arduino. Pressing the button activates or deactivates the music. Turning the knob to the right accelerates the music's tempo, while turning it to the left slows it down.

Key Features:

• Simplified Design: With just two inputs, EN and GND, operating this music box is a breeze. Connect, play, and immerse yourself in the melodious notes of the When You Wish Upon a Star (Disney Intro) song.

• EN Pin Functionality: The EN (Enable) pin serves as the heart of the board. Simply apply a voltage (3-5V) to this pin, and the music begins. It's as straightforward as flipping a switch!

• PWM Compatibility: Add a touch of creativity by varying the speed of the music. By applying Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) to the EN pin, users can control and adjust the tempo / speed of the tune, making each playthrough unique in its own right.

• Mechanical Marvel: Unlike digital soundboards, this breakout board boasts a mechanical design, ensuring authentic and rich sound quality that resonates with the charm of traditional music boxes.

• Compact and Durable: Designed with durability in mind, this board is compact, making it perfect for embedding in gifts, toys, or any DIY project that could use a touch of musical magic. The music is driven by a motor connected to a worm gear in order to deliver enough torque to the music mechanism.

• Song Customizable: The tune wheel is held together by a metal cylinder. Once you remove that, you can swap in another music wheel or 3D print your own for customizing the song.

Whether you're a hobbyist looking to add a musical element to your project or someone seeking a unique gift, this mechanical music box breakout board is sure to captivate and delight. Incorporating sensors and logic into a music system can transform a simple audio experience into an interactive and adaptive one. By using sensors to detect specific conditions or actions, and logic to interpret these detections, we can create a system where music playback responds dynamically to the environment or user interactions. Experience the joy of music in its purest mechanical form. Add sensors and logic to activate and deactivate the music.
