Level 7 · Code
Program everything you already own.
The Arduino doesn't replace your parts — it drives them. Every LED, buzzer, and sensor you already own suddenly gains a when this then that. This is the level where the toolbox stops being ten separate projects and becomes one programmable system.
New in the box
- Arduino-compatible board (Nano) — A brain for your box. Now every part you own can be programmed.
with everything through L7, your box now holds 31 component types.
Projects at Level 7
No Level 7 projects yet. The new parts above are catalogued and reviewed; the projects that use them are still being drafted and breadboarded. In the meantime, everything from the earlier levels still works — pick one below.
Earlier projects you can still build
Every project at Levels 1–7 draws on the components you now own — earlier projects never stop being useful. With the full L7 box you can tackle any of these 81 projects:
