Mini IR Theremin
Posted July 7, 2011 by Chris
If you’re a music lover, this Pyro Electro project is for you. Today I show you how to build your own IR Theremin. This style of theremin uses an infrared proximity sensor, a headphone speaker and a PIC micro to create an off-the-shelf style of instrument. The article includes demo vids of me playing simple songs on the theremin.

hi,I’m facing a problem with the output.the sensor is working and so is the powercircuit but the speaker is giving no response i.e. there is no potential change at the speaker port….please reply b’cause i’ve put lot’s of efforts but no result.
