PIC Coding?

[D4rknessxkilla]

ok so we got the Pikit2 from the sale on here... and i have been putting lights and stuff on my 4-wheeler, so why not a siren? Yes i know not to use it on public roads, or near the roads... i am planning on starting an orchard so why not have a cool vehicle to use to ride through the orchard? ANYWAYS, is it at all possible to make a pic chip be able to have like 4 or more different tones? would it have to be a 16 pin? that's what I'm thinking?? and how hard is this going to be to do? it will run on 12 Volts DC from a battery and power a 50 Watt speaker perhaps? For grins a giggles right?

any tips, pointers or advice is appreciated...
Thanks,
D4rkness

There are lots of example tone generator circuits on the web. Most are based on discrete parts such as a 555 timer, but if you want to use a PIC, then there are also examples out there for that.

This is simple enough that even a PIC10 could be used. It wouldn't even need much code space. A PIC10 is cheaper that a 555 and the support parts.
