i/o for this project

Using this reference https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/usage/gpio-plus-and-raspi2/README.md
and https://sites.google.com/site/semilleroadt/raspberry-pi-tutorials/gpio

GPIO Port 4 for HOLD (setting as 1 sets GPIO 4 to 3.2v)

sudo su echo 4 > /sys/class/gpio/export echo out > /sys/class/gpio/gpio4/direction echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio4/value

notes, this is obviously volatile... on reboot GPIO4 is high appears high, but is actually floating. It appears to drop low when direction is set to 'out'

Audio Output

HF: Sound output of some sort to a small speaker (I2S?), also 3.5mm audio to car audio input. Hardware switch to turn small speaker off (for music play etc)
