Snap Circuit Light Theremin
The Light Theremin is officially one of our most-modded Weekend Projects so far, suitable for both beginner and novice makers dabbling in electronics. We’ve seen a breadboard prototype by Matt for his first foray into circuits, and a further modded version by Steven with a potentiometer thrown in for additional sound control. Now Edward writes […]
