I got an electret mic working, but it didn't pick up anything off the
board.  Hmmm... do I even *have* a peizo buzzer?

I've got a "magnetic transducer" off an old motherboard...

I guess I could pick up something at RS next time I'm out.

The bottom right (the one with the three SMT inductors) is the 3.3v
switcher.  In that photo, the TOP right is the +12v LDO for the OLED.

Nudging the power jack does nothing.
