I was looking at the photos in your instructable "How to steady a camera with string", and I saw that you had the exact same brand and model of computer as we do!! :-)
Hello, and welcome to Instructables! I have realized that you did not receive a greeting from ewilhelm (Eric) or the Instructables Robot, so here you go! I do NOT work for Instructables, but I give out greetings once in a while and help people on Instructables.
Welcome again, and just have fun here.
If you have any questions, you can contact the Instructables staff, or me. If you do not know who they are, you can check them out here. Just click on one of the accounts at the link I just gave you (somebody in the Instructables Team/ Interns/ Advisors) and ask them in a private message or comment. You can click here for a guided tour of Instructables, or click here for an Instructable about how to make your own Instructable. You can ask me about anything on this website, how to change your profile avatar icon, posting Instructables, anything! I'll be here for you.
Thanks, a cool thing about the design, is that it can be entirely disassembled. I plan to install some 2-3 inch electric sprinkler valves, and wiring them up to some buttons. I just need to figure out how. I'm not good with electronics, (yet).
i think it would be the same as the nano, depending on what case you used (video, touch).
I just cut a hole in the top of the case the size of the iPod end of the cable, held the buttons on the side of the connector down with a cable tie and glued it in the hole. i ran the other end of the cable out the back of the case through a small notch
I used the case the nano came in because it was clear. You can't see it in the pics, but there is a switch on the back and 12v inside (i used a 9v and 2 AA's) I know 12v seems like a lot for some LED's but it is a bar with 5 surface mount LED's and some resistors.
