Sonic Screwdriver

As you will probably know, this is the famous prop from Doctor Who, the television series from BBC. I just love this thing.

I know that this is by far not the first sonic device on the internet. And even here on hackaday.io there are 2 projects. But seeing them reminded me of my started attempt - which I spend a lot of time, money, tinkering and "engineering" on - just rotting in a box. So by showing it here I hope I will take some time to work on it some more. My goals: # controlling an RGB LED, IR LED, UV LED # using a piezo speaker # using a 433mHz sender # 3 button menu (may change) # reading a photodiode or resistor # using a fader for intensity # using an accelerometer The stretch goals: # combining first goals to awesome features # make an awesome case for it

I just thought about using the existing arduino on a "breakout board" - cut the edges off on the pinheader of the arduino and solder it to a board that connects the head and the variable resistor.
