+
+BBC micro:bit sound
+###################
+
+Overview
+********
+
+This is simple example demonstrating how to use a piezo buzzer connected
+to port P0 on the edge connector of the BBC micro:bit board. Note that
+the buzzer is not part of the main micro:bit board, rather it it needs
+to be separately acquired and connected. A well working example is the
+MI:Power board that has a piezo buzzer in addition to a coin-cell
+battery. Resellers of this board can be fairly easily found using online
+search.
+
+Building
+********
+
+The sample can be built as follows:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   $ cd samples/boards/microbit/sound
+   $ make
+
+Sample Output
+=============
+
+This sample outputs sounds through a connected piezo buzzer based on
+button presses of the two main buttons. For each press the current
+output frequency will be printed on the 5x5 LED display.
