This PCB provides an I2C interface to control 555 timer frequency and the ability to switch multiple audio channels on and off to create simple or complex tones, melodies, or sound effects.
Arduino Uno is used as the I2C controller in this project.
This PCB can be ordered from PCBWay (I will receive a small commission):

This is a ridiculous project. I love it. Well done.
Some day I'll hook up a bunch of PCBs together and make the weirdest contraption ever! Maybe an internet enabled synth so people can play remotely...
Sometimes the simplest things can be the most entertaining.
It is amazing what a little 555 timer can do.
i’ve been using it for sound effects since I was around 12 and it still keeps me amused hundreds of years later!
@@GadgetReboot Hundreds of years? Lol, Goodness, how old would that make me :).
Somethings just will always be fun to play with.
The demo was awesome, loved the serial prints! It sounds nice and crunchy too.
I learned a ton from Forest Mims back in the '70s and '80s. Electronics all start at the basics.
What a great project, I learned about and how to use like 3 separate ICs lol
Wow! so many arcade memories for me !..I can hear loads of familiar tones in there, ya no ?..kinda little bursts of nostalgia...cheers!
yeah I just randomly created all of those sounds but when I heard them back there was a lot of familiarity. I really need to get my arcade cabinet built!
@@GadgetReboot MAME ?
yeah I’ve been wanting to do it since I discovered it in 1998 and I even have three sheets of plywood ready to go and a bunch of joysticks, buttons, a coin door you name it. I even wanted to make a motor controlled rotating monitor to switch between horizontal and vertical oriented games. I don’t know why I’m such a procrastinator.
@@GadgetReboot me too. mine was gonna be a "Defender"
I never did decide what to model a cabinet from but I wanted it to have all kinds of control panel interchangeable things so I can throw a steering wheel or trigger grip joystick, and my coin door has four slots so I can do gauntlet or xenophobe.
That's a nice set of beeps you have going there. nothing beats a nice rough sounding square wave. :)
I want to get some sine waves going for deep bass. Square waves just can’t do it the same way. Got to have those curves.
@@GadgetReboot A square wave is just a whole lot of sine wave chilling out in the same place.:)
Wow! this is what I was looking for!
The Atari Punk Console was one of the first circuits that got me into this hobby/profession less than 2 years ago. The APC is notorious among synthesizer DIY groups and many condemn its sound. 😅 You can actually get some rather pleasing results from it however if you modulate one of the 555 ICs pin 5 (I forget which one) with another oscillator.
sounds like it’s time to try modulating the control voltage pin on both of them to see what happens. That’s why I like making basic circuits that are configurable on permanent boards because if I had torn it all apart and needed to go reconstruct it on a breadboard just to check something, Id probably procrastinate it for two years.
Wow! Just Wow! Well done, tons of time spent on this. Very cool. We need a quadrouple thumbs up - there is your next project! So for now, I will just hit it once...
thanks! The project went way better after I put some of the smoke back in.
You have Digital Portamento! Fantastic!
Thanks for the education ❤
atari punk console on steroids!

I got a shout out! Cool.
I LOVE light and sounds. I need this circuit board to build it. Is it shared on PCBWAY?
it will be as soon as I revise the Gerbers to fix that problem with the LEDs. It will show up with the rest of the projects here. www.pcbway.com/project/member/?bmbno=D2CFA18E-4F24-49
It's now on PCBWay www.pcbway.com/project/shareproject/555_Sound_Generator_I2C_Controlled.html
Haha fun project. The 555 is kind of useless in this case with ucontroller I think. But it's interesting what it can do.
Nice video 👍🏻
The control voltage pin gives it a little uniqueness over generating pulses from a micro and it’s always fun to combine hardware and software instead of fully software.
@@GadgetReboot yes i totally agree. Quite often I even go down one more step and use fully logical ports. Also something to look into are multi-gang 24 rotary switches. To keep it truly old fashioned 😎
The most complex rotary switch I ever had was a single pole 12 position. I wonder if I still have that.
giving your referal links out to pcbway or whereever.. does nothing really when YOU DONT INCLUDE A BUILD OF MATERIALS list.. what..we just sposed to guess the parts used?
you dont even say what parts you use in the video.. WTF man what good is ordering the boards if we dont know what to put in them
