Drum Machine Project

Time for fixing up an old electronics project - the 2-chip drum machine.





It's a glorified metronome.





















It has a timer chip and an audio amp chip. If I recall, the timer is a dual 555 timer, which is an industry standard. It makes a couple of different sounds in repetition.

Runs off 2 9-volt batteries. In an upcoming post I'll go over a bunch of rechargeable batteries I use, and the little battery charger.
