Thanks for the video; I'm a newcomer and I'm still having difficulties, though after watching your video, I do get a theremin sound, though without the wobbles. I notice there are two differences between the video and the book. - Resistor Connection: On page 72, image 2 of the book, it shows the resistor and the connection to the analog pin in the same row. In this video, at 2:50, it shows them in different rows. Changing my project from the book to what you have here produces a theremin sound, instead of a drab buzz. - In the code, under the void setup section, under the while loop, the video shows the line "sensorValue = analogRead(A0);" which is not in the book. The setup in the video is making it more theremin like, though I'm not getting the variations in sound with the sensor. I tried a few different sensors in case that was the issue. I'll continue to investigate. Thanks for the vid!
Hi, I was very happy creating my first musical instrument and I love its cracking sound! Is there any way to plug it to an audio interface in order to record it?
Should we use Photoresistor or else Phototransistor ??You used Phototransistor in the video but they gave as Photoresistor in the "Arduino Book".Can you please clarify this doubt ??
@@analog_dreamer I didn't know it, so I connected another led to pin 13 and it worked! I was very happy (I know that this is not a great goal...but for me it was!)
Followed along and it didn't work. And piezo should be connected to lines 1 -7 on row e. It took me a while to figure this out and check over the manual.
I used a potentiometer. I thought that it does not work, but actually it produces a very low frequency. I am wondering why so. I tried to tweak a few things in the code, but nothing changes.
I used two potentiometers and a capacitor (one to control the amplitude and one for the frequency). I used the following code based on the previous project : int potVal; int freq; const int piezoPin = 8; void setup() { pinMode(piezoPin, OUTPUT); Serial.begin(9600); } void loop() { potVal = analogRead(A0); freq = map(potVal, 0, 1023, 50, 4000); tone(8, freq, 20); Serial.print("Frequency: "); Serial.println(freq); delay(10); }
Quick question: can I make this instrument with a light theremin? th-cam.com/video/omgbhGirTtY/w-d-xo.html It is an fan with an metal disk instead of the fan blades and a light source to create the light signals. Those are picked up with a small device, is that the light theremin?

How could I send the sound output directly to the pc speakers rather than the piezo?

I don't understand ledPin =13 part of the code. Nothing is plugged into pin13?
The built-in LED on the Arduino board is connected to the pin 13.
@@rafisarhan2336 it is used so that you know when the calibration ends.

How to whrite OUTPUT
I wish she was following the book and showing what is meant by each line. That would be more helpful.
What is name of the book you are referring to?
The Arduino Project Book that comes with the starter kit. Look online for it.
Followed along and it didn't work. And piezo should be connected to lines 1 -7 on row e. It took me a while to figure this out and check over the manual.
I used a potentiometer. I thought that it does not work, but actually it produces a very low frequency. I am wondering why so. I tried to tweak a few things in the code, but nothing changes.
have you considered those 5 seconds at beginning for calibration 3:25 to move the potentiometer from its minimum to its maximum?
I used two potentiometers and a capacitor (one to control the amplitude and one for the frequency). I used the following code based on the previous project :
int potVal;
int freq;
const int piezoPin = 8;
void setup() {
pinMode(piezoPin, OUTPUT);
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
potVal = analogRead(A0);
freq = map(potVal, 0, 1023, 50, 4000);
tone(8, freq, 20);
Serial.print("Frequency: ");
Serial.println(freq);
delay(10);
}
