[sdiy] Cypress PSOC based Theremin

[Harry Bissell]

I used s quantized theremin so I could actually play quite effectively. I did use the traditional
theremin. People would say "oh anyone can play that its so easy" and I'd say "I have a $50 bill in my pocket
for anyone who can get up here and play Happy Birthday" and never had to pay. It's really a very difficult
instrument, even more so if you only have a sensitive range of a foot or so (which I suspect is likely
using the method explained in the referenced paper)

C isn't that hard: void (*(*f[])())() defines f as an array of unspecified
size, of pointers to functions that return pointers to functions that return
void
