555 Synth

Overview

This is my first electronics project, based off using a 555 timer, and a network of resistors and buttons to change the frequency. Amplification for the speaker is provided by a transistor, in what is probably the most ghetto configuration ever. It is not a well designed project, but it was good for learning about the entire process of completeing a project, from inception to soldering the parts on the final PCB (which as of the time of writing, is on the slow boat over from China). I hope you enjoy, or at least have a good laugh at my stupid decisions!
