”We must obey the forces we want to command” a paraphrase extracted from Novum Organum (1620), Book I* by Francis Bacon (1561-1626). The paraphrase gains strength in the original textual context, which embeds the levels on which managers must also operate during implementation: The strategic and organizational levels.

In the format of Bacon, who was not only a philosopher but also an English public official and essayist, the objects of discussion were individual, nation and nature.

For easy access to configuration change the play_sound definition in PiFm.py to

def play_sound( filename, freq, rate ): 
     call(["./pifm", filename, freq, rate])
     return

Then try a loop (save in infloop.py and type sudo python infloop.py from the bash shell)

import PiFm 
x=100.0 
rate=141100 
while 1: 
print x,"MHz" 
PiFm.play_sound("sonar.wav"," "+str(x)," "+str(rate)) 

You can also loop across a range of frequences

import PiFm 
x=0 
while 1: 
print x,"MHz" 
rate=141100 
PiFm.play_sound("sonar.wav"," "+str(x)," "+str(rate)) 
x=x+0.1 
if x>250: 
x=0
