#170 ToneAC Library with 328P DIP Nano PCB Plug-in

A small 328P PCB replacement for a Nano with minimal components to save power - or does it? PCBWay Assembly Service only $30 with Quick Turnaround Time https://www.pcbway.com All this information plus more (eg pictures, sketches) in my GitHub: https://github.com/RalphBacon/DIP-328... And whilst we're at it, we'll play with the toneAC library from Tim Eckel (of NewPing fame) to boost the volume of the small beeper (buzzer) running off that 3v coin cell. It was always going to be a bit of challenge to run off 4v anyway, especially a CR2032 coin cell but the challenge was met quite nicely! Unfortunately, using standard, bare piezo buzzers didn't realise the voume I wanted (not even when mounted on a case) so I Retained the 3-volt passive buzzer. So this little PCB plugs into anywhere a Nano normally fits. I used a standard DIP 328P as I had so many of them this was an ideal opportunity to use some of them. These days it's all SMD, no THT allowed! This is the slightly hacked board into which it plugs (Universal Timer) Talking of SMD, these Yihua tweezers are given a longer look at, and I even demo how I;ve used them (a bit cack-handedly over the camera but you will get the gist). I'm hoping these will be robust and long-lived; they are the same brand as my 959D Hot Air Gun soldering station which has worked very well so far.
