Power Glove XSC

Power Glove XSC

Artist Statement

To create an ultimate party experience with this unique Power Glove. Power Glove can create stunning visual effect with your own creativity. It is also come with a costume. You can wear this unique super hero costume to dress up parties. Main Features: Power gathering, just hold your fist and see the lighting changes. Power Magnum and Energy Blast.
There are three sensors in total on the glove, accelerometer, flex sensor and pressure sensor. They work together to sensor three distinctive movemtns, spell, gathering energy and energy blast. The main technical challenge we were facing was how to combine the three sensors together and soder them onto the glove.
I had used cables instead of conductive thread because it is more suitable for this project, there will be heaps of crossover of the wires underneath the glove. Finally hope you like it.

I have ordered most of the things for my group, there are some changes for the original order, for instance, we have changed the four 5mm ultra bright leds in front of the glove to 10 mm ones, I went to JayCar and bought them with set of conductive threads. Finally I could get started on the sodering process on the glove.

Progress update 1/6/10

While I was doing the sewing with the conductive thread, I have encountered many issues, such as short circuit and the placement of threads, because it is quite a complex design, I had decided to use a different way to resolve the problem.

Our order has finally arrived, this is effecting on our design and testing, however I still believe that our group will still have enough time to accomplish this project on schedule. Now I have successufully cut open the inside layer of this glove and started putting Leds onto their positions. And tommorow I will start soldering. Mean while Shengying was doing his coding, I have successfully read the sensor value on the lilypad accelerometer ADXL335.
