    I think a Boe-Bot may bit a little slow (and ground-based) to chase those pesky mosquitos.... [noparse];)[/noparse]

    I·was considering the platform to generate a frequency/tone·that emulates the dragon-fly that may deter the pests from one location where another boe-bot is doing the same thing in that zone.

    ·thanks for your response!

    All joking aside, I think if you're wanting to generate very high frequencies then you'll need to look into the SX micro -- we have a free compiler for it called SX/B that is very similar to PBASIC.

    What frequency is the sound that Mosquitoes don't like?
