Next, wire up your buttons between the breadboard and Raspberry Pi as shown below.

The jumper wires from the breadboard should be connected to the GPIO pins as shown below.

(Note: The Raspberry Pi may turn off if a short circuit occurs between its ground and high-voltage GPIO pin to avoid head damage.)

Now that your buttons are wired up, time to start coding! Open PiperCode and set it to Step Mode at the highest speed, pictured below. 

From the Sound menu on the left side, select the “Play” block. Drag and drop it into the programming area.

Next, find the "Synth" block under Sound and place it inside of the play block as shown below. Using the block’s dropdown menu to adjust tone, choose a sound that you’d like the leftmost button on your breadboard to play.

Run your code by clicking the “Start” button in the top left corner. (Note: A sound should play from your Piper Computer Kit’s speaker. If not, check your wiring and code using the steps above.)

Link the chosen sound

Now, let’s link our chosen sound to the leftmost button. From the Chip Menu, grab a “When pin turns on” block. Leave the pin value as 3 - the green button’s signal pin.

Next, click “Start” to test your code. Make sure your speaker volume is turned up. A sound should play when the green button is pressed. Try it!

Now that we understand how to code a button press to produce a sound, we can use the “Duplicate code” action to make copies of the code so far. To duplicate the code, right click on a completed “When pin turns on” block, and select duplicate. Do this three times until you have 5 "When pin turns on" segments.

After duplicating your code, give each statement a new pin assignment. On the new “When pin turns on” blocks, set their pin numbers to 31, 33, and 16 as shown below.
