Let’s be honest. We can’t put down our phones long enough to plug them into a speaker. Bluetooth to the rescue! With a love of all things DIY, I built my own set and thought I’d share the experience for anyone else looking to do the same. The basic components only cost about $35, although cost depends on how you want the finished product to look.

Virtually every electronic product is constructed with one or more printed-circuit boards (PCBs). The PCBs hold the ICs and other components and implement the interconnections between them. PCBs are created in abundance for portable electronics, computers, and entertainment equipment. They are also made for test equipment, manufacturing, and spacecraft.

Getting started with basic electronics is easier than you might think. This Instructable will hopefully demystify the basics of electronics so that anyone with an interest in building circuits can hit the ground running. This is a quick overview into practical electronics and it is not my goal to delve deeply into the science of electrical engineering.
