Everyone who has ever worked with electronics has some sort of helpful tip or trick to share. For example, it can be the easiest way to identify transistor leads, a custom soldering tool, or the best way to keep parts organized.
Create a Photo Instructable showing a quick electronics tip and trick, and explain a little about why it has been so useful to you.
The electronics tips and tricks that are the most useful, original, and well documented will be eligible to win oscilloscopes! And the person who SUBMITS THE MOST INSTRUCTABLES will receive a DSO Nano V2 handheld Oscilloscope. See the prize page for more details.

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.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
