Fly-in-the-ointment: I'd still rather disable the IR Xmit function than
the buzzer. My application would like to use the buzzer to communicate
audibe condition codes. I appreciate Randy's effort to sacrifice
the piezo buzzer so we can supply another servo, but is it really
different to disable the IR Xmit? I'm not astute enough to do it myself,
but with some directions I'd try, and post any code I get to work.
Would the expansion board solve my problem?
My next option is to hold my breath until I turn blue. So there.
