Some housekeeping, we’ve added a bunch of projects to the Adafruit Instructables group! If you have an Adafruit kit and want to share your builds, hacks and tweaks – add it in the Adafruit Instructables group or our Adafruit Flickr pool.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
I used to like Instructables, but they’re getting more and more annoying with their “members only zomg!” stuff. I don’t see why I should have to create an account just to view the photos attached to a project.
yeah i feel the same way, stopped using them after requiring a login to view all steps on one page business. Practically speaking I would rather write my own instruction that is in a format that I know won’t annoy people even it means *much* less exposure.
With that said I’m still glad the site exists because I used it recently to help me with a DIY project at home.
