How To Arduino Bluetooth Glove

once you’ve succesfully created, uploaded, tested, and improved your code you gotta make the decision to start building your glove. in the pictures above i have made a simple diagram of how everything should be set up (i’m sorry for my drawing skills). in the diagram you can see the lines with a squily line like a “Z” through them are connected to 5V (5volt) and the lines with a simple circle “0” through them are connected to GND (ground).

as you’ve set up the code you should know where every pin should lead and how everything schould be powered and controlled. a little tip is to find a simple place for your arduino since it’ll have to hide inside your glove. i had mine in the middle of the back of my hand but i reccomend placing the arduino at the beginning of the back of your wrist since the accelerometer could best be placed in the middle of your hand and the bluetooth could be placed anywhere.

the most tricky part of the building process is the soldering of all your cables. this was my first soldering project so i have a lot to learn, but i can speak from experience to use things like metal lug wiring caps to connect every attribute to volt and ground from only two connections to the arduino. this makes it easy to connect a lot of wires to each other, but if you have to connect a wire to your arduino nano i do recommend soldering since that guaranties a strong connection.

the Arduino leonardo is a very simple process where you can use jumper cables to plug into the board, solder the endings to your slave bluetooth module, and plug in the led from pin 8 to GND (ground) without any connections in between since the led wont shine as much to break. for the last step create a cool but simple box for your leonardo (while the usb is still plugged in) so you have a receiver to plug into your computer. (i used a simple i phone 4 box, perfect for an arduino leonardo + bluetooth module to fit.
