iPod Breakout Dock

ipod breakout dockNo, it's not a device that tur your iPod into a break-dancing robot. *sigh* One can dream...

On Black Friday, panocamera.com decided to build an iPod Breakout Dock: "I needed a quick way to test signal interactio with a microcontroller and an iPod, so for about $50 and an afternoon of soldering, I threw together an iPod dock/breakout box. Ingredients include a small breadboard, and a $15 cheapie u charger cable, which when stri ed of its plastic housing luckily has all 30 dock co ector pi ready to solder."

There's several pictures and a discu ion of all the parts used, but the post is lacking a detailed how-to or tra lation of what use a device that tests signal interactio between a microcontroller and an iPod could be, but neat nonethele . Check it out.
