Overview

Circuits are all around us. They’re in our smartphones, cars, TV's, and even clothing -- and they’re the focal point for the Circuits Contest! Any new project that involves circuitry is eligible and there is a special judges’ prize for the best project that uses any of the three Autodesk Circuits simulators (Breadboard, Arduino, or PCB).

Prizes are provided by Autodesk Circuits and there’s a lot of awesome stuff on the line! Enter to win a 3DR Solo Drone with GoPro Hero4 Silver, Sparkfun Inventor’s Kit, Littlebits Synth Kit, Arduino kits, and lots more. We hope this theme sparks some fun ideas!

Care to embed your Autodesk Circuit designs in your Instructable? Click the “Share & Embed” button on the read-only detail page, copy the code, and paste it right into your Instructable. That’s all!
