After the circuit board was complete we soldered all of the connections to make sure they were solid. Next we took a dremel tool and a 1/32 in. bit and drilled out all of the connections in the board. [video] The only difficult part of this step was using a drill bit this small. We broke 2 drill bits during this step but managed to get everything drilled.
The next step was connecting all of the components to the circuit board and soldering them. The components which we connected included 2 resistors, an integrated circuit, 2 LEDs, a power source, and finally a jack for audio out.
Finally we placed everything into a project enclosure box and mounted the 2 LEDs to the surface of the box.
After trying a few different methods for playing our theremin we determined that the most effective way to play was using a flashlight to alter the sound being produced.
