Halloween was over and someone destroyed this hand that was attached to a candy bowl and moved at random intervals. So I opened the thing up, removed the circuit board and excess wire. I then took a spare usb cable stripped it open. And soldered on the appropriate resistor and capacitors, and voila. I then implemented a yellow button. And basically you plug it in and when you press the button it moves. I plan to incorporate this into a future mod. I think for now I will create a nice wood box for this, add some nice LEDS, and maybe make a hub out of it.

I was thinking this would work well with that Zombie PC Mod. I plan to go pick up a costume glove for it, and add a motion sensor. Not sure what I am going to use it for though, was just good practice.
