How does an RC car work? What bit is the ESC, and what is the receiver? Why does the motor have 3 wires?
In this video, Aaron explains what every component in an RC car does, and how they do it – with help from Blitzy, the Blitzer Beetle.
We’re going over the major electronic components of an RC car. We’ll look at how they are powered and how you actually control your remote control car, well, remotely.

This project is a no-code habit tracker built with the Adafruit MagTag, designed to help you monitor three daily habits and keep streaks alive…all without writing a single line of code. Using Adafruit IO Wippersnapper and IO Actions, you’ll set up a fully functional system that tracks progress, displays streaks, and lets you check off habits with the MagTag’s four front-facing buttons.
This guide walks you through creating a personal habit tracker using the Adafruit MagTag eInk display. The device will track three daily habits (for example: meditate, stretch, walk) and display whether you’ve completed them. If you complete your daily tasks, overnight your MagTag will reset the TODO and add to your streak, showing how many consecutive days you’ve kept up the routine.
The best part? No coding is required. Thanks to Adafruit IO Wippersnapper, you’ll configure the MagTag entirely through a web interface. With Adafruit IO Actions, you’ll automate streak tracking and reset logic, making this project accessible to beginners.
