We've contacted our old horn supplier in an attempt to bring back the honky goodness, so keep your eyes peeled!</p>

I learn something more challenging on different blogs everyday. It will always be stimulating to read content from other writers and practice a little something from their store. I’d prefer to use some with the content on my blog whether you don’t mind. Natually I’ll give you a link on your web blog. Thanks for sharing.</p>

IMO, the best setup of this type of prank is where it triggers off of an action of the person, whether it be them hitting a certain key on their keyboard, touching their screwdriver to something, or simply leaning back in their chair (think image processing...)</p>

I heard of this in 1966 from a guy whose first car was a model T Ford.</p>

All you would need to do would be to add a delay and a call to relay.turnRelayOff(). Also, since the ESP32 is acting as a soft access point, you have to be kind of close to the thing to maintain decent WiFi signal strength.</p>

You really don't want to come home to find that the neighbors have called 911 because of the racket...</p>

I didn't want to <strong>actually</strong> deafen my coworkers so we decided against filming.<p>The day prior I did come back to my desk, thinking I was the only one connected to the horn. @brambleton asked if I had just given the thing a toot and I said yea, nobody else can connect to it.</p><p>Then he triggered the thing and I jumped about 3 feet out of my own body.</p></p>
