Yesterday I met up with Captain Credible who is a musician known for his violently eccentric live performances and arsenal of homemade instruments.

We created some really cool circuits together for creating sound.

Have you built your first project yet?

Even if you have, here are four ideas to help you make your next project a success.

1. Get your project out on a piece of paper

I met Captain Credible today.

He’s a Norwegian musician and electronics enthusiast.

And he is definitely something out of the ordinary (in a good sense).

Just watch a few seconds of his performance and you’ll understand that he’s doing things differently:

I am a coffee lover.

And these days, I am surrounded by the smell of coffee almost every day.

But no – I am not working from cafes these days (even though I love that too).

If you want to build advanced things like internet-connected gadgets and more, you need to use a microcontroller.

The easiest way to get started with microcontrollers is using the Arduino.

When I was living in Berlin I did a lot of Arduino workshops.

Yesterday I met Martin.

He is a consultant that finds and fixes problems with pipes.

So he has these devices that he places into tubes that will scan the pipes or give images from inside the pipes.

Using these devices, he can find the problems and come up with solutions on how to fix the pipes.
