Projects

Reading Time: 3 minutes

This is where ideas turn into real, working builds. In the Projects section, you’ll find hands-on electronics and robotics projects that put concepts into practice, helping you see how components, circuits, and systems work in the real world. Whether you’re following along step by step or using these builds as inspiration for your own creations, this is a place to learn by doing and keep experimenting at the workbench.

Making a 555 Temperature-Controlled Fan Controller

In this project, we will build a circuit that reacts to the real world. Instead of blinking on its own, this circuit senses temperature and makes a decision — just like real electronics inside robots, computers, and machines.

The LED Blinker Circuit

Let’s put some components together and see how they can team up to do something fun — like making LEDs blink all on their own, forever, without a microcontroller, without a timer chip, and without any “smart” components at all.

Byte Lights With the ADC Series – PIC Project

Our goal for this series is to understand analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) of a PIC microcontroller, and how to program one to accept and convert an analog input.

Super Simple LED Switch Series – PIC Project

Our goal for this series is to learn how to program a PIC18F4525 microcontroller using the C programming language to control an LED with a couple of switches.

The OwlBot Project Series

The OwlBot will be a device that can be used as a bird intimidation tool to scare away pesky birds in the yard, around the house or barn, at restaurants, or in trees, bushes, and gardens.

The Ultimate DIY 3220-Point Breadboard (TUDIY)

In this project, we’re going to be making our very own ultimate 3220-point solderless breadboard. This solderless breadboard is different than others seen on the market, and unique in its own right.

How to Make a Cigar Tube Circuit Tester

In this project, we’re going to make a low voltage DC circuit tester — like the ones you get for testing automotive circuit points — but the one we will be making we’ll…

How to Make a Chewing Gum Box LED Night Light

In this project, we’re going to make a battery powered LED night light out of a chewing gum box — like the ones you get in the aisle of a grocery store or convenient store.

How to Make a Scrubberbot

In this project, we’re going to make a battery powered scrubbing robot out of a scouring pad designed from a griddle…

How to Make a Simple Switch Circuit

In this project, we’re going to make the basic and simple switch circuit. Having a switch in your circuit allows you full control of your circuit. A switch allows you to…
