back in electronics class, 100 years ago, we had this breadboarding program to draft out our projects. mostly we just made goofball messes of lights or drew pictures with wires.

but I figured out how to adjust the pitch and volume of the piezo buzzers. mapped out a scale. made a breadboard project that played 'Red River Valley' in the worst, most annoying noises possible. teacher hated it. classmates asked how to do it. class full of squeaking and honking computers. :3c
