“What can you build with electronics?”, she asked me…
“Anything!” I said.
She looked at me with a blank stare. Apparently that was not a satisfying reply.
This happened to me a few days ago.
Sometimes I get too deep into electronics that I forget “normal” people don’t necessarily understand what you can do with electronics.
So…
Here is ten things you can build with electronics from the top of my head (drum roll please):
- A blinking light
- Two blinking lights
- Three blink…. Just kidding. But lights that dance to the music
- A little device that automatically sends out your business card over bluetooth to anyone who is in the nearby (yes I made this)
- A WiFi-connected plant pot that tells you when you need to water your plants
- A robot that can fetch you beers
- A quadcopter (also called a drone)
- An automatic cat door
- A coffee machine
- A pinball game
So that’s ten things. It usually helps to do a brainstorm like this when you are looking for a new idea.
And now I have some more things to tell the girl if she asks me again.
To start building electronics, I recommend my eBook «Getting Started With Electronics», which you can get here:

Keep on Soldering!
