Make-It.ca – Maker Resources, Information, Hints and Techniques

About The Make-It.ca Site

Make-It.ca is a resource for the maker movement with an emphasis on electronics tinkering. Maybe you are involved with electronics, Arduino hardware or software design, robotics, 3-D printing or Amateur (Ham) Radio – we have resources for it all.

Our sister site, PCBoard.ca is a valuable resource where we offer unique electronic devices and components. Need an LED, maybe a resistor or capacitor or a battery pack? PCBoard.ca is the place to look for all that and more.

LED Specifications

LEDs continue to get brighter, are becoming more efficient, and are available in many sizes. We are continually adding new LEDs to our online store and update our LED Specifications regularly.
