Audio Demo

The following video demonstrates the waveforms the Atari Punk Console generates. You can see the variations in the waveforms when the knobs are adjusted and various DIP switch positions are selected.

Features

Atari Punkr has a 1/8″ (3.5mm) Stereo output jack. When paired with an audio amplifier such as the CleanAmp and a decent set of speakers the AtariPunkr can produce a wider range of frequencies.

Assembly

This is a fun and rewarding kit for young electronic enthusiast. This video demonstrates my 11yo son building his own AtariPunkr. It took him about 2 hours to assemble the kit with only minor guidance from me. I touched on topics such as component orientation and basic safety and the rest he did on his own.
