Stumbled across your blog entry that mentions the ATtiny85. I thought I'd have a go but still awaiting delivery.
Most of the explaining is over my head ...I can just about cope with a 555...but I'll read it again.
Have you done any more tinkering with this; it looks promising and could be useful to produce the knock down bits from separate pockets in a pub and invite chume to try it out. Hmm, but where to clip the wrist strap?

Hi, I've done a few different projects with the ATtiny85, not sure which one you're referring to. You mention the wrist strap, are you talking about the Tiny Theremin project?

I can try and explain it further if you like.

but i don t think it will be stable to build a theremin with a 555 timer since for it to change the tone it must be oscillating at a very high freq so that any capacitance will make the system unstable and also that for the high frequency it would not be hearable

Yes, I meant the tiny theramin. Still waiting for the bits to tinker with.
Doubt I'll go for tiny but scale it up to suit my sausage fingers and failing sight

555 is a Timer, nothing else. You would need the ATTiny85, it is
a Hardware Controller. I'd suggest an Arduino UNO. There cheap!
Then you can use a board plugged into to Arduino, that will allow
you to plugged the ATTiny85 into the Arduino UNO for programming.
If your interested, let me know and I will give the schematic for it.

Personally, I have NEVER used a wrist strap; and I'm 70 years old.
At times, where I leave, moving on a carpet, and building a electrical charge and then gripping a chip; never never heart an
IC!
