Atari Punk Console

Background

This was a side project that I started while thinking of new projects to make. I saw that this device was popular on the internet and there was plenty of documentation available. I also liked that the device works with no microcontroller which is interesting because this is my only project that does not use one. I would like to try and build more analog circuits in the future. THis was also the first enclosure I designed in Fusion 360 to be 3d printed

Design

The circuitry for this project was fairly simple. It uses 2 555 timers which are hooked up to each other to create an oscilating signal that can be manipulated using a potentiometer on each timer.
