Thanks for the insights Quinnjh! Would love to hear more about your invisible strings tuning system!

The ESP32-S3 extracts a moving variance signal from spatial turbulence (updates at 20-50 Hz), and I want to map this directly to audio frequency using a passive buzzer + PWM (square wave, 200-2000 Hz range).

Two quick questions:

1. Do you see any pitfalls with updating PWM frequency at 20-50 Hz for responsive theremin-like behavior?

2. Any recommendations on mapping strategies - linear, logarithmic (musical scale), or quantized to specific notes?
