About Us

 Welcome to HackTheBoard.com — your home for everything electronics, maker projects, and single-board computers.

Whether you are a student building your very first Arduino project, a hobbyist experimenting with Raspberry Pi clusters, or a tech professional exploring the latest microcontrollers, HackTheBoard is designed to be your trusted companion in the journey of learning, tinkering, and innovating with electronics.

Our Story

HackTheBoard was born out of a simple passion: the love of building things with boards, chips, and circuits.

Like many makers, we started with the basics — an Arduino Uno blinking its first LED, a Raspberry Pi powering a home media center, and countless late nights soldering components onto breadboards. With time, this hobby grew into something bigger: a mission to share knowledge, review hardware, and help others learn electronics in a fun, accessible way.

We noticed that the electronics space is evolving faster than ever. Every month, Kickstarter launches bring innovative hardware to life. Raspberry Pi alternatives are becoming more powerful and affordable. Microcontrollers like the ESP32 are enabling smarter IoT projects. And yet, many makers struggle to keep up or find reliable information to make informed decisions.

That’s where HackTheBoard steps in.

What We Do

At HackTheBoard.com, we cover the world of electronics through:

News & Updates

We keep you in the loop with the latest launches from Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and other SBC makers, as well as crowdfunding projects from Kickstarter and Indiegogo. If a new microcontroller or expansion board is making waves, you’ll read about it here first.

Hardware Reviews & Comparisons

Choosing between boards can be tough. Should you go with a Raspberry Pi for your project, or is an ESP32 enough? Is a Kickstarter project worth backing, or just hype? We break down hardware with side-by-side comparisons, real-world benchmarks, and use-case analysis to help you decide.

Guides & Tutorials

Learning by doing is the best way to grow as a maker. That’s why we publish step-by-step tutorials for all levels — from beginner-friendly setups to advanced IoT, robotics, and AI projects. Our guides are practical, clear, and designed to get you building without frustration.

Tips & Tricks

Sometimes it’s the little things that make a huge difference. We share practical hacks, troubleshooting tips, and optimizations for popular boards. Whether it’s extending SD card life on a Raspberry Pi, debugging Arduino sketches, or saving battery power on an ESP32, our tips make your maker journey smoother.
