Doom Butter

[bigmufffuzzwizz]

Getting ready to build the DoomButter I etched earlier this week. It's all straight forward except there isn't any value listed for the LDR. Can I use any LDR like 5k light 500k dark or does it need to be specific to the circuit?

Thanks

You can just make an LDR.  It's way cheaper!

What I meant to say is what value should the photocell be. Doug said, "as long as it gets down under 5k or so, and goes about 200k your good." I guess that's my answer 
He said in the FSB thread that he doesn't shrink wrap it because ambient light is what makes it more unique. what a guy!
Thanks bean for the great layout!

Did you ever work this out?  I'm hoping to build one soonish and could do with some more info on the LDR.

How easy are they to build?
Cheers.

Just seen your post about this on another thread.  Is this the one you used?

Yes that's the one. That part of the effect is super wild!
