| 8 | +## Overview |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +The PDM library allows you to use PDM ([Pulse-density modulation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse-density_modulation)) microphones, such as the onboard MP34DT05 on the Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense. |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +To use this library: |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +``` |
| 15 | +#include <PDM.h> |
| 16 | +``` |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +The library takes care of the audio that will be accessible also through the [ArduinoSound](https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/ArduinoSound) library. |
