How a guide works

No endless walls of text. Every project is split into clearly defined steps.

  1. 01

    Prerequisites

    Everything you need: software, hardware parts, costs. Check once, then start.

  2. 02

    Work steps

    Numbered, with code, screenshots and the reasoning behind every decision.

  3. 03

    Track progress

    One click per finished step. Your progress is saved — even across devices.

  4. 04

    Finished result

    At the end the complete project as a download — code, build plan, configuration.
