Electronics - Atari Punk Console

A couple of months ago I decided to tackle my first real electronics project, the Atari Punk Console. Basically it's a circuit that uses two 555 timer chips and some variable resistors to make some Atari like noises. The original circuit is by Forrest M. Mims but here is the schematic I used from Kaustic Machines:




Two hours after my initial trip to Radio Shack the prototype is functional.


I can't just leave it on a bread board! Time to bread out the soldering iron and drill for a more permanent solution.


Doesn't the final product look like a face?
