1989 Power Glove Modified into Multirotor Drone Controller #Nintendo
This video of Nolan Moore’s Power Glove Universal HID controller at the recent Bay Area Maker Faire has been making the rounds lately:
Any Power Glove hack is immediately amazing. But Nolan went the extra step, or steps rather, and documented and shared his build process here on Hackaday.io, including various sketches, notes, and several prototyping steps until he arrived at the final, clean, fully-encased human interface device:
Hackaday of course did a write-up on the project which sparked the video going viral; hat tip to everyone from The Verge to Engadget to The Next Web for picking up this story and hopefully inspiring another generation of Power Glove hacker-makers!
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
