They wanted one they could pick the color of and one that wold change color. Easy - An Arduino, RGB LED and some PWM! Picking the color was the issue. I decided on the one button solution - a rotary encoder with pus...

Recently I have been working on a lot of robotic design and simulation at work. I needed a method of taking my work home with me, and seeing as I can’t carry a large six axis arm home in my briefcase; a solution had to be found. The following set of instructions is my initial design for ...
