Make your own wall Charger for iPod/iPhone
In this video I show you how to make your very own wall charger for iPod/iPhone using an old unneeded ipod cable and an old unneeded cell phone wall charger (or get one from the 99 cent store for a dollar)!
Materials needed:
Old iPod usb cable (all we need is the ipod connector with its wires coming out)
old cell phone charger (needs output of 5V-i got mine from the 99 cent store for a dollar since i didn't have another one lying around)
small pack of 75K OHM (instead of 100K OHM) resistors (for models newer than the 2G Touch/iPhone you need to use 75K OHM resistors for it to work, all of these are available at Radio Shack or any other electronics store)
small pack of 50K OHM resistors (get from Radio Shack or any electronics store)
Soldering iron and solder (not really optional, and you will need someone who knows how to solder)
wire cutters
wire strippers
needle nose pliers (will keep you from burning yourself while soldering)
electrical tape
Well-ventilated work area
OPTIONAL: heat shrink tubing for closing up the wire when you are done (just make sure you put it over the wire before you start soldering haha)
How to use a multimeter/voltmeter:
www.wikihow.com/Use-a-Multimeter
(scroll down to "Use the Volts Function to Measure Voltage")
To make sure the voltage output is correct, the green and white wires should put out somewhere around 2 volts, the red wire should put out 5v, and the black should not put out anything..haha
