Atari Punk Console

Remember the Atari Punk Console?Here's a shot of another design via $uperpuma on this electro-music.com thread.

No title link as I couldn't find an official site for the Atari Punk Console. If you know of one, please comment.

  2. The original design is the "Stepped Tone Generator" taken from the "Engineer's Mini-Notebook - 555 Circuits" by Forrest M. Mims, III (Siliconcepts, 1984).

    Kaustic Machines modified it slightly and gave it the name Atari Punk Console.

    I have built one from the veroboard layout available at:

    Cheap and bleepy, I like it. Nice design on the posted box, I've been meaning to try etching aluminium.

  3. This was my third venture into etching, heres a great photoessay by MarkM on box etching http://aronnelson.com/gallery/album24 He does some stunning ones. Although the circuit is now public domain, I believe the name belongs to Kaustic Machines... I have no idea on the terms of use, but if I make many more of these for any commercial reason, I may have to change the name... thanks for the kind words and the repost over here!!!
