Description

The Knox Makers Optical Theremin educational electronics kit (KM-006) features two oscillators, a flashing LED, a light detector and a speaker, and is powered by a 9V battery. Surface mount construction and low parts density make this kit ideal for the soldering novice, but note that small surface mount components require tweezers and a small solder iron tip for assembly.
