Title: Galactic Ham Theremin #2 fabbed PCB!
Post by: pryde on March 22, 2015, 05:14:42 PM
So here is another theremin build for a friend of mine who flipped over my first one. Luckily member brejna made a fantastic compact pcb and made it available on OshPark here:

Consider it verified and working great, thanks brejna! It is a very easy build. I kept the "Galactic HAM" name but made this one much more compact in a 125B. I don't think there is a need for a large enclosure/aireal as it is very responsive as is.  Just need an isolated jack and good to go. I am going to make up a couple more as some local guys are dying to have one.

That's great!  I'm waiting for one of these boards.  Luke51411 ordered 3 from OshPark & I bought one from him.

Is there any difference in performance in the smaller enclosure?

I don't think so. Both will start to detect hand movement about 4" away so really any size seems to work ok.

Sounds like the world will soon be awash in trippy, eerie sounds.

Awesome build! :D It can fit in 1590a, but I don't if that will effect performance..
