DTMF has a wide application in home automation. When a dial pad button is pressed, DTMF receives a particular tone frequency and then decodes it into a binary number which is further processed by Arduino to perform a specific task.

Coke Piano and Launchpad made with Arduino
Description: These Coke are not for sale! You can play any song in a loop using these Coke cans.
As stated by Lucas Zanella:
“The hardware (the protoboard with the Arduino and components) is made of lots of transistors for ‘body signal’ amplification, so the coke when touched activates the corresponding transistor (BC548B NPN). These cokes are plugged in directly to the transistor’s base using a wire. Arduino then reads the data and sends it via serial to the python script.”
