The following instruction will layout how I went about building this project. I know this is a rather simple device, but is the most complex thing I have made to date. I have learned a lot during the process and am glad I participated.

1. The first thing I did after coming up with the idea is to find a way to control 3 sets of 8 leds on each with a minimum amount of wires.  I found an article that talked about shift registers and went ahead and ordered a few to try them out. following the arduino shift out article I was able to get them working on a breadboard. 

2. The next thing i needed to do was to find a way to connect to the internet. I found the cc3000 wireless module on sparkfin and decided to give it a try. I put in an order and moved on while i waited for it to ship.

3. I picked up some lexan from home depot and designed the front panel of the flux capacitor. I cut it out on my home made cnc machine and painted the back black. I also cut out a bezel from mdf, sanded and painted grey. 

4. After receiving the cc3000 module I began programming, in a few hours I had a URL i could call that would update the speed of the flux. 

5. next I setup a node server to get the likes from this project and update the delay of the flux capacitor.
