You can’t imagine daily life without them but you hardly see them. As long as they do their job at least. Meant are circuit boards of course, little helper that do so much for us.

A product becomes its smartness through a circuit board, let it be a motion detector or a Smartphone. Naturally there are many premanufactured solutions, Arduino boards are the best example. But to distinguish your product you can’t get around a custom board.

That’s well and good … but what can do with it? Why bother?

The pictured board, to name one example, can be used for many applications. An electric campfire in a diorama for example, an ultrasonic distance sensor, lightchanging for highlight-illumination , (…).

Try it out, or learn how to do it in our How to Make - Platinen workshop.
