    Hacking the buzzerbox

    Ah that makes sense, ok I'll do that. I may have measured a different set of pins this time! Oops. When I get someone over I'll get them to buzz a few times again. Good to know I can power a low powered device, I'm not sure the bluetooth module yet, I kinda just wanted to experiment a bit...
