This assumes a lot of extra skills and knowledge.

As a Linux user I know RPi pretty well but piezoelectric is something I used to light gas, resistors are something I studied at school (and things that heat), a diode... maybe, but clamping? I won't be able to put those pieces together.

I'm pretty sure that was a sarcastic reference to that well-known dropbox comment.
