iPod nano Becomes a Dancing Robot [VIDEO]

Love your new iPod nano? How would you like to see it dance around like a little robot? As you can see in the video below, with a little technical wizardry, it can be done.

A hacker called PachimonDotCom has already turned both the iPhone and the iPad into dancing robots, and now he’s done it to iPod nano. Getting the nano to display an animation was done with a simple trick, since the nano is not iOS-based and doesn’t allow the installation of third party apps. It does, however, display animated GIFs, and that’s how the eye animation was created.

Making the robot move was a bit trickier. As explained by PachimonDotCom, he used “the sound from headphone jack as PWM signal that controls the servo motors!” Pretty ingenious if you ask us.
