⚡ Welcome to The Hardware Jam ⚡

A community event for building, learning, and sharing together!

⚠️ Please Note: No Prizes!

This jam is strictly for fun, practice, and community bragging rights. There are no cash prizes, gift cards, or physical rewards. The ultimate goal is to challenge yourself, learn something new, and show off your cool hardware layouts live on stream!

🛠️ Main Constraints

• Hardware Target: Must use an Arduino Uno R3 setup.
• Component Limit: Maximum of 2 Arduinos allowed per project.
• OPTIONAL: Parts Inventory: You can only use:
  • Up to 2 16-pin character LCDs
  • Up to 2 Stepper or Servo motors
  • An IR Sensor with a remote control
  • Unlimited buttons, LEDs, transistors, optocouplers, and generic sensors / resistors
• Button Code Rule for IR: The actual background code doesn't matter, but you must use code comments to clearly document what each button does!
• Simulation Platform: All entries must include working digital wiring via Tinkercad.
• Stability: Submissions will be highly rated on functionality (no bugs or problems).

Grab your virtual components, plan your layout on your grid, and let's build something awesome together!
