Hi!

I found today 2 black LEDs and 1 violett-clear LED. I never bought them and i so i think they were in the kit. So maybe someone can tell me how i can find out what these 3 Diods are doing, or tell me what they are. :)

Hi Markus,

You must have gotten your NerdKit shortly after we released our Halloween Theremin Video. We included 2 IR LEDs and 2 phototransistors as a promotion. There is likely 1 more violet-clear LED nearby.
