 Make your own mini band! 
 You and your friends can form your own finger-sized band and rock out using Raspberry Pi and Arduino. 
 Learn how to build circuits with sensors and outputs and write a simple programme to control your instruments.
 
+## Instructions
+
+The instructions are in the [writeup directory](https://github.com/NeilNjae/miniband/tree/master/writeup); you'll probably want the [instructions PDF](https://github.com/NeilNjae/miniband/tree/master/writeup/miniband.pdf). Code samples are in the [release directory](https://github.com/NeilNjae/miniband/tree/master/release).
