Easy Theremin Uses ESP32
An ESP32 microcontroller was used to create a simplified theremin, an electronic musical instrument, by detecting hand proximity to two antennas using capacitive touch circuitry. The device translates these movements into changes in pitch and volume, which are then converted into sound through a digital-to-analog converter. This approach offers a modern, easy-to-build alternative to traditional analog theremins.
A simple theremin was built using an ESP32 microcontroller, with hand proximity detected via capacitive touch sensors.
