Electronic Metronome Based on AVR

The project aims to create an AVR based electronic metronome which is an excellent device for all musicians in order to maintain tempo.

The metronome device generates a clicking sound at a steady rate that is set by the user. A windup spring and a dual pendulum arm or inverted pendulum are used by the traditional mechanical metronomes to produce the clicks and an adjustable rate or interval is obtained due to the position of the sliding weight of the pendulum. Additional functionality is offered by electronic metronomes such as counting measurement, distinctive sounds for the first beat of the measurement, and programmable beats per measure but the sound of electronic metronomes can be grating. The improvement upon the competition with a rich set of sophisticated features and tuneful digital sound options is revealed by the ATmega16 microcontroller based AVR electronic metronome.
The AVR electronic metronome is cheaper than the traditional metronome and can be easily programmed and be operated with just a few push of buttons. This is why it is preferred by most performing musicians for practice and maintaining their tempo or aids in specifying the different tempos by the composers.
