How to charge your mp3 player using Lego mindstroms NXT

Step 2: Disection!!!!!!

In this next step we are going to have to do what most lego owners would hate to do, take them apart. What we have to do is cut one of your connecting cables in half. If you don't want to do it, either suck it up or order new ones at the lego site, here I'll even give you a linkhttp://shop.lego.com/Product/?p=8529 :) Ok, now strip off a good chunk of the black casing. You will see six wires under it. Cut off the four colorful ones but leave the black and white wires on the end. Now string some of the casing off of them and either twist or tin the exposed wire. This opens loads of opportunities just waiting to happen.

I am pretty shure you could save your cable if you just use cat 3 cable (phone line), with a normal phone jack and just snap and sand off the little prong, that is there to keep it connected, so it will fit. I know it will not stay as securely but it saves you the cable.   =)
