# RPi Theremin This is a quick-n-dirty "Theremin" daemon for use on the RaspberryPi. It is designed to be used with a couple of these distance sensors: https://www.adafruit.com/product/4007 Use 'raspi-config' to configure your default sound output (HDMI, 3.5", etc). This is intended to be run from daemontools or runit. Quick setup as root: # apt install ruby espeak fluidsynth runit motion netcat # systemctl stop/disable/mask motion # gem install -Ng # ln -s /etc/service /service # ln -s /path/to/here/theremin /etc/service # ln -s /path/to/here/motion /etc/motion # ln -s /path/to/here/fluidsynth /etc/service For this project, there was an available Pi camera (v2). After enabling it in raspi-config, I also fired up 'motion' with the included configuration file, to capture people using the theremin and to say hello. # ln -s /path/to/here/motion /etc/service # (enable motion support in the config file) It will save images for 2 weeks with the current motion.conf. Season to taste. This was mounted on a manniquin named "Maude" (the bod), as a goofy/fun interactive instrument.
