APC 555 Optical Thermin

So I have cooked up an optical thermin for myself based on the 555 timer and some tweeking of good old Mr. Mims Atari Punk Console design. This project is not for the beginner as it uses surface mount parts but it is fun none the less. So all of my hard work has lead me to offer this as a share alike piece of hardware.

TEMT6000 Light Sensor Breakout

Today I took some time to develop the TEMT6000 break out board for one of my projects using Eagle Cad. Its a small little board which uses surface mount parts 2x 10k Ohm resistors and 2x TEMT6000 light sensors. This breakout board is for a much larger project involving performance and audio.

The file can be found here:

I used PDF format for the actual file as its easy to print at the correct sizes for multiple systems.

Enjoy!
