use a piezo buzzer to produce sound.
Introduction: Button and Buzzer.
AI Task #1: Print "A" when button A is pressed and "B" when button B is pressed.
AI Task #2: Make the buzzer play a short melody of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star".
Activities: Build a water drinking reminder.
Challenge: Program drinking reminder to accept user input for the duration.
Introduction to Button
Introduction to Button
Buttons are essential electronic components in modern technology that allow us to input commands and interact with various devices. They come in all shapes and sizes, from the tiny buttons on your calculator to the larger ones on your computer keyboard.

Let's build a water drinking reminder with EDU PICO V2! Don't worry, we will keep your first project simple. Ultimately, you will learn how to combine codes from multiple components. Let's Go!
Water Drinking Reminder
Water Drinking Reminder
In the original code, the timer runs for only 5 seconds by default. In this challenge, you are required to modify the code to allow the user to customize the duration of the water-drinking reminder!
