Yesterday I tried to play a tone to a passive buzzer using the rTone library in a WeMos D1 Mini v3.0.0 module..
It was a complete fail because there is an inconsistency between Esp8266 boards and rTone library and B4R/Arduino reports that interrupt.h file is missing.
So I figured a way around this and I created the following code which you can add to your esp8266 projects to play sounds with them.
Download the attached module and add it to your project. Probably it will work also with Arduino but you do not need it there because you have the excellent rTone library by @Johan Schoeman.
(12-11-2020)
v.1.1 Now it is implemented also as b4xlib available from B4R 3.50 (select which file of the two suits you best - usage is exactly the same as before)
v.1.1 Included the notes of rTone library by @Johan Schoeman and also added the appropriate delay in the Play Function not to ruin the sound
The code that is contained in this module is the following:
You play it for example with this code:
