Overview

The Microcontroller Contest is back! This contest is open to any instructable that includes the use of a microcontroller such as an Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Beaglebone, Huzzah board, or whatever other system you might be working with. We will be awarding over $3,000 in Amazon gift cards to the winning authors, along with their choice of an Instructable prize pack.

We're looking for projects that are well-documented with photographs, clear explanations, and code. We're also looking for projects which are unique, and stand out amongst all of the other microcontroller projects that have been posted before. We can't wait to see all of your new and amazing projects!
