ball_freq ('02) is a musical toy where the player moves the ball around to make different tones. The idea comes from those toy games where you try to get the ball from one place to another by changing the tilt of the box. Whenever the ball hits one of the 11 rods, a synthesized sound is played by the microchip. I use a BX24 microchip and LM386 amp chip that are both powered with a 9v battery. Not so musical, but fun to play.
