+# This example shows you how you can use Pico Explorer's onboard buzzer as a speaker to play different notes and string them together into a bleepy tune.
+# It uses code written by Avram Piltch - check out his Tom's Hardware article! https://www.tomshardware.com/uk/how-to/buzzer-music-raspberry-pi-pico
+# You'll need to connect a jumper wire between GPO and AUDIO on the Explorer Base to hear noise.
+
+import utime
+import picoexplorer as explorer
+
+# Set up and initialise Pico Explorer
+buf = bytearray(explorer.get_width() * explorer.get_height() * 2)
+explorer.init(buf)
+
+# tells Pico Explorer which pin you'll be using for noise
+explorer.set_audio_pin(0)
+
+# this handy list converts notes into frequencies, which you can use with the explorer.set_tone function
