Name | ### tone()
Examples |
    void setup() {
      tone(0, 400, 200); // generates a 400Hz tone in output pin 0 with 200ms of duration
    }

    void loop() {

    }
    void setup() {
      tone(0, 400, -1); // generates a 400Hz tone in output pin 0 with infinite duration
    }

    void loop() {

    }
Description | The tone() generates a tone of a determined frequency in hertz on a specific pin with a specified duration. The tone command uses timer2 to generate the tone accurately. Use a negative number in duration for infinite duration.
Syntax |
    tone(pin, frequency, duration)
Parameters |
pin | int the PWM output pin number in which the pulse will be generated. It can only be on 29, 30 or 31 PWM output pins
frequency | int: the frequency for the pulse in Hertz
duration | int: the tone duration in milliseconds or a negative number for infinite duration
Returns | None
Usage | Application
