WHAT YOU WILL NEED
Here’s everything you will need to build your Noisette Optical Theremin kit as shown below:
TOOLS
1. #2 Phillips screwdriver
2. Tiny (precision) flathead screwdriver for adjusting the trimmer potentiometers
3. Soldering iron (not a soldering gun, or a cold heat iron), good quality, 15-50 watt, with a good
medium or small-sized tip, conical or chisel shape. One with a temperature control and a stand
is best.*
4. Damp sponge to clean your soldering iron
5. Wire strippers*
6. Flush cutters or small diagonal cutters*
7. Clamp or vise to hold the printed circuit board while soldering (optional, but handy)
8. Solder sucker and/or solder braid (optional, but very handy if you have to remove or repair any
components!)
9. Ruler
10. Digital multimeter*
11. Needle nose pliers
12. Hot glue gun (as an alternative to super glue, see supplies)
SUPPLIES
1. Solder, 60/40 rosin core, the smaller diameter the better (we prefer .032” diameter). Make sure
it’s good quality. We prefer Kester brand, but most brands will work fine.
2. Super glue gel (thick CA glue), or hot a glue stick to be used with your hot glue gun, if you don’t
use super glue gel.
3. 9 volt battery (if not using a 9 volt wall adapter)
