To hold the iPhone into the foam block, I routed a pocket the same size as theiPhone into the top of the block. Normally, I would have routed the holea little bit larger than the phone to ensure that it would fit, but by making the pocket the same size,...
Step 1 - Assemble the fittingsLet's get the easy part out of the way first. For this step, you'll need your bag of fittings, the valves, the pressure gauge, a roll of teflon tape, and a crescent wrench.Assembling brass fittings is pretty easy, but...
Step 2: Prepare the pressure cookerNow for the fun part. In this step, you'll be drilling a hole in your nice shiny new pressure cooker. I know, it's tough, but it's for a good cause.You're going to need: A metalworking drill pressThe pressure cookerA...
Step 6: Vacuum time Well, we're finally here. It's time to turn on the vacuum pump, and run for cover. Maybe.Before we actually flip the switch, a few words of caution from our sponsor.First, be sure to read the instructions that came with your pump....
Solder LEDs and diodes to sparkfun board, be mindful of their orientation.Thread the leads of 16 LEDs (5mm or 3mm are fine, I used 5mm) through LED holes in the Sparkfun PCB. These boards are compatible with 4-lead RGB LEDs, so there are four available...
