2. Sketch
Write a sketch K to define:
- the output connection: buz::d2
- the commands to control the buzzer: beep, alarmOn, alarmOff
buz :: d2beep = [buz=!buz # @8] alarmOn = [beep #3]alarmOff = [beep #0,buz=0]or simply load the sketch with the command

3. Try and learn
Try the following commands now:
] beep
the buzzer emits 4 beeps ('buz=!buz # @8' switches buz 8 times every tenth of a second)
] alarmOn
the buzzer emits 4 beeps every 3 seconds

nullthe periodic command beep #3 was deleted
] alarmOn ##30
sets a 30-second timer (wait for 30 seconds to hear the alarm).
