My RAT ('reverse avalanche transistor') drone synth

This repository describes my RAT (reverse avalanche transistor) drone synth. I generated the image of the bird using Stable Diffusion (AI).

This project was inspired by the work by Sam Battle of Look Mum No Computer. Sam released a video where he made a synthesiser from a Red Bull can - watch it here. In his related post 'Super simple oscillator' he described more of the electronics and a few example schematics. There was also a link to a more technical description of reverse avalanche mode on a blog BJT In Reverse Avalanche Mode by Kerry D. Wong. It was through both Sam's and Kerry's…
