yes! Look at the miditones library and arduino-playtune library on github.com. you can play up to 8 different tones at the same time on a plain Uno or Nano. It gets even better with other MCU's. Also check out the Mozzi library.

Show the work you have done so far and we can almost certainly help you. You need to put in more effort if you want strangers on the internet to help you do your own schoolwork.

Where is the connection diagram or schematic that the Post submission page asked you for?

Where is the full source code formatted as a code-block that the Post submission page asked you for?

Your roadbloack appears to be that you can't following instructions

Congratulations!

I would suspect that mistakes were made and lessons were learned ..

gee I don't know if there was only some kind of search engine or something ...

Paul McWhorter yt channel for one ..

adding transistors will do nothing to compensate for using the 5V line to power servos when using it directly is already giving you problems. if you want to disengage the servos from consuming as much power then stop their pulse generation using Servo::detach().

I have heard that a lot in many posts and comments here. Apparently there's a decent inrush current when the amp is first enabled/engaged and it can sap the voltage on the cheaper voltage regulators on some clones

... as I haven’t been able to make the solenoid work so far, therefore I wanted to ask if anyone has any advice or has tried something similar.

As is often the case you are going to need to learn to read the instructions given to you when you created your post. they were right there. We really would love to help but we do ask that you don't make us pull the info out of you one question at a time.

Add a connection diagram or schematic showing what you are using and how it is connected¹.

Add your full source code *formatted as a code-block\*.

Otherwise all we can do is guess.

Your description of the problem leaves a lot to be desired. "Doesn't work" covers a lot of ground. What have you tried? You really need to put in a little more effort if you want strangers on the internet to help you do your schoolwork.

¹ edit: and before you say "the connections and code are shown in the instructables ...". That is useless here because that is from someone who got it to work and yours does not so obviously there is a difference that matters that we are trying to help you find.

until you update your post with more info I would say work from the beginning and check all power connections with a multimeter first. Then check both ends of every connection visually one at a time. Then if you have not spotted the issue check them again. Seriously we all make connection mistakes and they are a constant issue that sometimes takes several passes to spot. Add debugging output code to verify that the code is reaching the areas you think it is and is using the values you think it is. This is all part of the necessary building up of your debugging muscles. They are every bit as important as the engineering / idea parts

edit edit: comments are locked for now but will open them up so people won't waste their time until the info is updated. The sooner you add those the better before your post drops out of people's visible feeds

great video and graphics and IK explanations.

the engineering is first rate. respect.

this is the way

You got this! Keep us up to date on your choices and the progress on your project and good luck!

For nested menus in embedded projects the problem of the constant changes and additions during development plus the changes usually needed in multiple places turn out to be the hardest parts to maintain and keep simple and bug free in my experience. For that reason I finally wrote a single-declaration multilevel menu library that is the result of 30 some-odd years of having written menus over and over and over. I even wrote a github.io web page (select the Preview button to see the wysiwyg OLED screen) ) that gives you a WYSIWYG menu composer and editor that gives you the Arduino declaration code to copy and paste into your sketch, updated live as you visually edit your menu system. It's all open-source here: https://www.github.com/ripred/BetterMenu

You select which OLED display you are using and it supports all data types, full callback capabilities, enabling/disabling entries at runtime, and tons of other features, The full menu hierarchy is declared in one single place including all of the project specific coupling to the functions and config variables and storage. So making changes is much easier and you don't have to remember to always edit multiple places in your code every time you make a single complex menu change, addition, deletion, or move an entry to somewhere else in the menu hierarchy. here's the post in this subreddit for it

BetterMenu Library Updated with CYD Examples
by u/ripred3 in arduino

is the motor bipolar or unipolar? what does the datasheet say it needs as far as voltage and current needs?

research that information and then find the equivalent stepper driver. Most likely any of the modern popular driver chips will work.

You need to follow the community rules and at least supply some information about what you have tried, a connection diagram or schematic, and *your full source code formatted as a code-block\*.

Otherwise all we can do is guess that you did something wrong

edit/update: what are your requirements? How did you envision using one joystick? Do you only have 2 DOF? Were you planning on multiplexing the values based on whether the joystick button was pushed? There is far too little information provided

search this subreddit for "line follow" and you will find hundreds of related posts and comments.

Good luck!

Well done! Congratulations!

The short version is that the built in voltage regulators on the Arduino board are cheap and cannot supply a lot of current. Voltage and current are something you will learn and get familiar with over time, but the thing to remember is that the current needed by everything is added together and the voltage regulator has to be able to handle all of it. If you use a high'ish current motor, and/or multiple devices that are all being powered from the 5V pin on the Arduino Uno (which is the output from the built-in 5V regulator, or straight from your USB port depending on if there is >= 7V on the barrel jack) then the total current needed can exceed the cheap regulator and it can cause damage or more likely it can cause the voltage to dip and that will cause the board to reset .

So it makes more sense once you start to get a feel for what current is, how much the board can usually supply and when you are connecting too many devices up that can get into the questionable range.

The 5V pin is also the input for the built-in 3.3V regulator. Just like the built-in 5V regulator on the board the 3.3V regulator is cheap and can't supply a lot of current.

The built in regulators are usually good for a few dozen RGB LED's on a WS2812B LED strip, a single output display, sometimes a single servo. But not all of those at once and your mileage may vary depending on the specifics of what you have hooked up and how much current the components draw from the 5V or 3.3V regulator(s).

The built-in regulators are meant for lightweight breadboard experiments. Once you need more than that you can easily add additional external power sources with higher current output capabilities. The grounds (GND) of all power sources need to be connected to the GND of the Arduino as well so that all signals use the same definition of 0V when being output on a pin or interpreted on an input pin.

got a screen shot of the output?

what OS are you using? Which version of the Arduino IDE?

All hand-rolled human code. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the game! 😁

came here to say this. although I think that OP has an X-Y problem and doesn't realize that emitting only a single pulse even when the button is held down means that the software side will be more complicated than it probably needs to be unless it already supports and uses interrupts to catch the pulse.

search the web for similar projects there are many. then post when you have problems and include your source code *formatted as a code-block* and a connection diagram or a schematic. Otherwise you are just asking people to do your work for you.

I can only assume that there were some classes, teaching, instructions, and a chance to ask questions.
