floppymusic

This repo contains melodies, written in C++, to be played using Raspberry Pi and floppy disk drive. This was made using XtraPerianer's guide. I also edited that instruction and added it to repository here

To assemble this you need:

• Raspberry Pi
• floppy disk drive
• power source; it's perfect if you have one from an old PC, it should be 5V
• wires to connect everything, e.g. the power source and the battery
• jumper wires or jumpers

Also you need to install wiringPi lib in order to run the code.

Compile and run

First check if you have c++ compiler on you Raspberry, and install it if you don't:

sudo apt-get install g++

Then go to directory with your code (You can get an example here):

g++ music.cpp -o music -lwiringPi

You should now be able to run the Programm by simply typing:

./music
