SUMMARY

In this project I will make a “Light Theremin” which will work producing a tone
depending on the light perceived by the microcontroller. I will need a five photoresistor (to
detect the quantity of light), a piezo (buzzer) and a 10kΩ resistor to perform our homemade
theremin. First of all, I will start describing the functionality of a buzzer. This element is used to
ring different tones depending on the intensity received. It must be connected between ground
and a digital or analogical output which will provide the potential difference needed to play
sounds. The buzzer will be connected as a digital output and the photoresistor as an analog
input. The photoresistor must be plugged in as an analog input because it will translate the light
received to numbers (different than the states high/low).
