  long delayValue = 1000000/frequency/2;
  // calculate the delay value between transitions
  //// 1 second's worth of microseconds, divided by the frequency,
  //// then split in half since there are two phases to each cycle

  long numCycles = frequency * length/ 1000;
  // calculate the number of cycles for proper timing
  //// multiply frequency, which is really cycles per second, by the
  //// number of seconds to get the total number of cycles to produce
 for (long i=0; i < numCycles; i++){ // for the calculated length of time...
    digitalWrite(targetPin,HIGH); // write the buzzer pin high to push out the diaphram
    delayMicroseconds(delayValue); // wait for the calculated delay value
    digitalWrite(targetPin,LOW); // write the buzzer pin low to pull back the diaphram
    delayMicroseconds(delayValue); // wait again for the calculated delay value
  }
