Starter Project Guides
Each guide below walks you through a specific board from schematic to shipped hardware. Pick the one closest to what you want to build, follow it, and select the matching guide when you create your project on Twisted — this is what lets you skip the journal requirement while you ship your first board.
| Guide | What you'll build |
|---|---|
| Blinky Board (KiCad) | A 555-timer LED chaser, designed in KiCad |
| Blinky Board (EasyEDA) | The same LED chaser, designed in EasyEDA |
| Squeak | A custom mouse |
