Built something you are proud of? Know a component inside out? Circuits DIY publishes projects and tutorials from makers, students, engineers and teachers around the world. Our goal is a clear, accurate tutorial for every common electronic component — and you can help.
What we are looking for
- DIY projects you have built and tested, with a circuit diagram, parts list, photos of your build and an explanation of how it works.
- Component tutorials — how a sensor, IC, module or discrete part works and how to use it in a real circuit.
- Arduino, ESP32, STM32 and Raspberry Pi tutorials with working, commented code.
- Explainers on electronics theory, measurement and PCB design.
What we do not publish
- content copied, spun or rewritten from other websites or books;
- articles written mainly to place links to other websites;
- circuits you have not built, presented as if they were tested;
- unsafe designs — for example mains circuits on a breadboard, or lithium charging without protection;
- illegal devices such as radio jammers, or anything intended to harm people or property;
- advertising disguised as an article (see Advertise for sponsored content).
How to submit
- Send us a short proposal using the form below — the title, a short outline and whether you have built it.
- If it is a good fit, our editors reply by email, usually within two weeks, and explain the format.
- You send the full article with diagrams, photos and code.
- We review it, may suggest changes, and publish it with your name and a short bio.
