So here is Part 4 of this project. If you haven’t read the first 3 posts, I suggest you go back and do that first, unless you enjoy being confused about what’s going on.

I personally like to build things. I like getting my hands dirty, and coming up with clever ways to solve problems. Perhaps I missed my calling? I should have been an engineer or something. Nah, I use rubber bands and scotch tape too often as can be witnessed in the pics below. First a pic of the whole project:

You won't find much here that'll interest you unless you're a nerd, geek or gadgeteer. But if you fit into one of those categories, you're in luck! Take a minute to look around and be sure to join in the conversation, steal my code, or flame me.
