Creating A Cheaper Power Source

If your like me, you don't want to leave your PC on just to power your arduino. Well, I've fixed that problem. Here, you will learn how to create a cheaper adapter.

You need

  • USB mp3 charger
  • USB cable that bridges the charger and the Arduino

Now, attach the USB cable to the arduino and charger, and plug the charger in wall.

To program the Arduino, replace the charger with the computer.
