Here is the blurb:

"To enter the contest, make a new Instructable that involves a microcontroller, any microcontroller, and be sure to share the code you used. The Instructable can cover getting started or show how to make some epic project. It's up to you!"

The competition ends on February 13th, so you only have just under two weeks!

Good luck!
