Challenges

Can you complete the challenges? Change the code in your code editor above. Upload your code to see the effect when you're finished. Complete a challenge? Check it off the list!

Change the delay to change the speed of the tone rising. What happens if you make the delay very very small or delete it completely? Try to predict the outcome before you upload your program.

Change the starting value of the variable above the void setup().

Reverse the way the program works by setting the pitch variable to a high value above the void setup, then changing pitch++ to pitch-- in the void loop.

Try to set up the serial monitor and use the serial.println() function to display the variable value on the serial monitor. This is a tough challenge!
