A breadboard is an essential tool for working with electronics. It provides a quick and convenient way to test, build, and modify circuits without soldering. Named after the wooden boards originally used to organize components, modern breadboards are plastic boards filled with a grid of tiny holes and internal connectors. This structure lets you easily plug in components and wires, making it ideal for experimenting and prototyping before committing to a permanent setup.

The Doom melody requires more memory than others, so make sure your board can handle that amount. If not, you will usually encounter an error during compilation.

As a workaround, you can try removing some of the notes (along with their respective durations) to fit the melody on the board.

It's quite possible that there's something wrong with the module. We've seen other people run into the same problem before, and it turned out that there was a problem with one of the chips inside. You might want to try using a different module to see if that resolves the issue for you.
