circuit.rocks started in 2015 as a side project — a Manila-based maker frustrated by 30-day waits for parts from overseas. One shelf of Arduino boards in a Quezon City garage turned into 2,394 SKUs and 31,000 orders shipped.
We're not a marketplace, not a dropshipper. Every part on the site is on a shelf in Manila, weighed, photographed, and ready to ship the same afternoon. If a Filipino maker can build it, the parts to build it should be here — not flying through customs for a month.
Eleven years on, we still answer the email. We still know which ESP32 variants Adafruit ships with PSRAM and which don't. We still mark clones as clones. The shelf is bigger now. The mission is the same: empower the maker.
