Theremin update

Still working on converting my Theremin to a people proximity sensor. Couple of notes:

1. Theremins do not work when resting on the ground.... I had no idea about this and it took forever to figure out, turns out that the ground must act as a ground or something for the volume antennae...

2. It's hard tuning a giant Theremin antannae, mainly because while tuning it you are also in range. Trying to attach a cable to move the antannae away creates a sort of shadow sound....

Maybe I should stick to Legos...
