Intro: Solar Theremin With Arduino

materials:

arduino uno

3 photoresistors

4 buzzers

3 10k resistor

(optional) usb solar pannel or usb battery

STEP 1: Why?


During the 2014 art Exhibition at Met (M. di Ragusa), I created (with the technical collaboration of Carmel Iurato), this theremin made from three photoresistors, managed by the light and powered by a solar panel. All controlled by Arduino Uno. A musical composition of light and shadows.

STEP 2: How To

the LED is the BUZZER!

STEP 3: Arduino Code
