Holiday Cheer Starts with a DIY Electronics Project

Delving into the depths of technology is all well and good, but there is more to life than just the circuits that make up technological devices. There are the devices themselves and it's all the better when we build devices ourselves.

I chose three projects that reflected the uses we can envision for our Raspberry Pi components. Those are always fun and informative, and absolutely educational, even for seasoned makers.

These projects run the levels from beginner to intermediate and advanced.

The components are all available and listed on each originating article, so my version is short and too the point, just to get people engaged.

There are literally thousands of projects out there, all relatively well laid out.

So if you don't like my versions of what to keep you busy the week after Christmas, just go to the link at the bottom of the page, and find something you love.

The Holidays, no matter what your beliefs are meant as a respite from the grinding daily routines of life. Take the time to rest, and enjoy a fun DIY project.

I am always available for questions just reach out to product-editor@circuitcellar.com
