 The final part is bringing everything together, which includes mapping specific frequencies to distances form the sensor. Since we already have the functions for the distance and frequency, the mapping is very straightforward. It just involves using basic algebra using the variable "distance" to map the lowest frequency to the minimum distance, and the highest frequency to the maximum distance.   The final part is bringing everything together, which includes mapping specific frequencies to distances form the sensor.

 +**Joystick and active buzzer.** 
 +First create a function where the buzzer is sounded off when a button is hit. When the button is hit the active button works by generating sound through an internal oscillating circuit when power is supplied to it. Unlike a passive buzzer which requires an external signal to produce sound, an active buzzer only needs a simple on/off signal to make noise. The second step was to unhook the button and replace it with a joystick which is a component that computes the position of its handle relative to its base as values of x,y,z on a 3-dimensional plane. The x plane of the joystick was hooked up to the buzzer so when pushed down the buzzer would sound off until released

 +**Joystick, Servo and Button**
 +First, make sure you've downloaded the appropriate files needed. This includes the Joystick, the ADCDevice, the ButtonLED, and the Sweep (servo) file from Github's Freenove Tutorial page. Then, edit your wus1 file according to the sample commands given to you by the named files, but make sure mot to copy them exactly if you want your components to interact with each other. If you want to Joystick and the servo to interact, make sure that the OUTPUT is the servo, and the INPUT is the Joystick and the buttons, as the buttons and Joystick are what will allow you to manipulate the servo as you'd like. Make sure your components are also hooked up to the appropriate GPIO pins and power supplies with the correct resistors (if needed). The goal is the have the servo rotate independent of any input until you push one of the buttons, which will make it stop, so you'll need to loop the servo command until the condition of the first button being pressed is met. Then, when the second button is pressed, and held down, you should be able to manipulate the servo using the Joystick as a reference for what angle you'd like the servo to rotate towards/away from, hence why the servo is the OUTPUT and the Joystick is the INPUT. Once the second button is released, you should have a code that will let the servo spin automatically until you push the first button again.

 Passive Buzzer: Passive Buzzer:
 Uses the frequency of an AC input to create an oscillating electric field. The oscillating electric field then causes a thin, inner diaphragm to vibrate, which creates sound waves. Higher frequencies cause a faster vibration and a higher pitch. A lower frequency corresponds to a lower pitch.  Uses the frequency of an AC input to create an oscillating electric field.

 +Joystick:
 +The joystick is a component that computes the position of its handle relative to its base as values of x, y and z on a 3-dimensional plane. Like on a 3-dimensional graph, the y-axis correlates to forward and backwards and the x-axis correlates to right and left, while pressing the handle down like a button adjusts the calculations along the z-axis. The five pins positioned to the left of the joystick are, from top to bottom: ground, (+)5 voltage power, x-variable, y-variable, and GPIO Pin input. The x and y-variable pins are connected to an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) device used to help process the information regarding the position of the joystick controller to the computer.

 +Active Buzzer:
 +The active buzzer generates a sound when it receives a voltage signal. Inside the buzzer, there's an internal oscillator circuit that produces a tone when powered. The active buzzer only needs a simple off or on signal to sound it off.

 Passive Buzzer: Using the diagram and code from GitHub's Tutorial C, wire up the passive buzzer along with a transistor, and a button (as seen in the diagram). Copy and paste the code into a your wus1.c file (don't forget to remove the old code before pasting). Change the "void main" to "int main", otherwise you will get a warning (Note: you can still run the program with the "void main", however, you will get a warning when you run the "make" command). Double check the code to make sure everything copied properly and everything makes sense logically. If not, ask Matt to help explain. Once you're sure everything is correct, run your "make" command, then "./wus1" Passive Buzzer: Using the diagram and code from GitHub's Tutorial C, wire up the passive buzzer along with a transistor, and a button (as seen in the diagram).
