Learn by building
Free tutorials and guides for makers and tinkerers. They cover electronics, Arduino, smart homes and amateur radio today, with programming, artificial intelligence and decentralized technology to come.
Electronics and Arduino
Components, sensors, motors and displays, explained with working circuits and code for Arduino boards.
Smart home and IoT
Automate your home with open source software that keeps your data under your control, and secure the network it runs on.
Off-grid power
Generate and store your own electricity.
Amateur radio
Build transceivers and antennas, and learn the code that started it all.
Featured tutorials
Analog and PWM signals
Use a potentiometer to control an indicator, and learn how analog measurements differ from PWM outputs.
Introduction to Arduino
Upload your first sketch, blink the built-in LED, and use Serial Monitor to see what the board is doing.
Servo motors
Move a lightweight pointer with two buttons while powering a micro servo independently of the controller.
Ultrasonic distance sensors
Measure distance with an HC-SR04, reject missing echoes, and compare raw readings with a small median filter.
