Programmable 8-Step Tone Sequencer known as Arduino Punk Console

The project involves coding the Arduino while sequencing 8 tone slots and the frequency of each slot would be controlled by a frequency knob.

The controls on this console include four potentiometers with one each for volume, tempo, duration, and frequency. Wired as voltage dividers are the first 3 simple 100K linear pots and wired in the traditional volume circuit is the fourth 100K audio taper. Simple momentary SPST devices are used for the start & stop function and as switches for each of the slots. A tempo indicator is made by wiring a central red LED.

A clear acrylic panel is used in designing a front panel. This is done by doing the setup in Visio, printing the front panel, and taping it to the acrylic sheet to make a drilling template. A second piece of acrylic was added as the bottom panel with some strips of red oak, once the drilling was done. Black metal sheet screws are used to hold together the whole thing.

A length of copper wire, one for V+ and one for ground was used and stand-offs were used to build two rails.
