Pic-driven Random Music Generator

Random Music Generator Schem.

This circuit uses a PIC16F685 and an OPA4342 (or LM324) to randomly generate pleasant audio tones.  The interesting part about this project is that it’s not calculating the frequencies required to make the tones, it’s counting the time intervals.  Take a look at his files here.  And while you’re there, check out his other projects, that should give you some inspiration to get out and get making!
Credit to Kevin Weekly for the sweet idea!
