Title: Doombutter LDR
Post by: das234 on April 12, 2013, 02:09:49 AM
Love the doombutter's wackiness.  Looks like a reasonably simple build too.  I see an LDR on the PCB layout doc but not on the parts list.  Can I just buy any old LDR and pop it in there? 

I posted this once before but I think I was in the wrong place at the time.

Thanks

When I built mine I just threw in a random LDR I had, no idea of its specs.
Worked pretty well, even out in the open in filtered daylight.
So, I don't think the circuit is too sensative.

When I bult mine I just got a assorted box from Radio Shack for 3 or 4 bucks. There are 3 or 4 different sizes in there.
