. The myth and lore surrounding the Nintendo Power Glove can only be matched by its monumental failure. Geeky NES Peripheral Ever Was Launched With An Amount Of Hype That Would Make The Y2K Bug Jealous. However, the Powerglove was doomed from the start. It required too much overhead (with the frame you had to wrap around the screen of your tv), lacked proper functionality and had. Within a year of its birth, most Powergloves were relegated to boxes in dissapointed childrens’. basements. commercials with Tom Cruise look- A -likes is now spending its golden years with R in the NES graveyard - but no more. With this hack I can strap on the Powerglove and have total control over the mouse cursor on my computer. Note: While the electronics used here aren’..t that difficult to understand, the soldering is a little tricky. The first step in making the pMouse is, of course, taking all the goods apart. I started with the component of the powerglove on the back of the hand. Basically, all the fingers are are variable resistors. When a finger is bent the resistance through the finger is increased. For this project I created my own simple circuit (shown above) that will activate a mouse click whenever one of the fingers is bent. To accomplish this, I used an LM339 comparator chip to function as a y-.bit analog to digital converter. I then connected the outputs of the comparators to the base of two PNP transistors. The collector and emitter of the transistors would then be connected to the mouse buttons. The other fingers could be utilized if you wanted for extended functions but for my mouse, I only wired up these two finger actions. In the schematic above, Rx and Ry represent the thumb and pointer fingers respectively. Also, the schematic shows that LEDs, rather than the mouse buttons, are connected across the transistor for testing purposes. I plugged in the mouse buttons after I had evidence that the circuit actually worked. However, before I began to assemble the above circuit, I wanted to access the fingers so that I knew the resistance range that I was dealing with. Using a multimeter I tested each of these points (pictured above) to find which two points corresponded to which finger. I held the meter probes to two points at a time and systematically bent each finger. I repeated this process until I figured out which two points were connected to which finger. I labeled these points and then measured the resistance increase of each finger as it was bent. The thumb’..s resistance increased from 300k to 900k while the pointer finger’..s resistance increased from 100k to 400k. With these figures in hand I knew the value of resistance needed to implement in my curcuit above. I then wired the circuit up on a solderless breadboard and tested to see if I could control two LED’..s with bending the fingers. Above is the circuit after it was wired. After a little troubleshooting, everything worked fine, and I was successfully able to turn on the LED’..s simply by bending the fingers. Once I Had The Finger Situation Under Control, I moved on to the portion of the project that was to control the movement of the mouse cursor. I thought of a few ways to accomplish this. I decided to go this route and got a cheap mouse off eBay for about $50. Above is the gyration mouse that I used. is the dissasembly of the gyration mouse, step by step in photo. This is the underside of the gyration mouse and the place where I needed to solder to hijack the mouse buttons. I soldered the wires here to connect my finger-bending-circuit so that whenever the appropriate fingers were bent, the mouse button would be activated. I also had to solder two wires to hijack the left-click button (not shown). One very important step is to make sure that both the gyration mouse and my breadboard circuit share a common ground. Since my circuit runs off a 9v and the mouse uses 3 aAA’..s this is vital. Above is where the battery pack used to connect to the mouse. The node on the far right is the one that connects to ground and has to be connected to ground on the breadboard as well. Once all the tedious work was down, I began to piece my glove together. You can see that this baby is a beast. After some cleaning up, I hooked up the gyration receiver to my computer and tested her out. geeky cool, the motion was detected and the fingers. I felt like I was in 1988 again playing with the Powerglove for the very first time. [ и0. ] Continue reading to Ry'..PosherGlove Mouse Hack’. [ и0. ].

I also plan to make my own PCB so that I can replace the solderless breadboard. That would reduce the size alot as well. [ и0. ] Here is a project that I am very impressed with. It is done by my good friend Brandon over at zerosign. He took a power glove, you know the cool looking, poorly functioning glove from the 80s for the NES, and turned it into a mouse. What he did was take the cover off the back of the hand to expose the circuit board. He found the wires coming from the fingers and did some tests on them. He basically found that in the fingers of the glove, there are strain guages. These are just a variable resistor that changes resistance when bent by the fingers moving. So you get a changing voltage output from the wires when you bend a finger. His first step was to make some LEDs turn on with a bend in his finger. A comparator basically compares two voltages to find which one is greater. You can also think of this as a 1 bit A/D converter. You can also use an op- Hamp as a comparator. You can read more about a comparator at allaboutcircuits. You can see his schematic above. He uses a pnp resistor to give a high output from a low input. After he got this to work, he bought a gyro mouse, which you can just hold, and move in your hand to make the cursor move. He wired his comparator into the mouse, and had a perfect working powerglove mouse. I really like this project, and think that it is a novel idea. He turned a poorly functioning novelty into a very useful working project. I bet with a little more work, and a pcb kit, he could package everything into a nice little package. DIY Live. DIY Archive.

Your project sounds really cool. My gyration mouse was pretty accurate. It just takes some practice at first. Although this is a good hack, it is a shame that the functionality of the buttons along the forearm of the Power Glove is lost.

I recently did something similar in an embedded design class, but we used all our own parts instead of hijacking an existing system. We tried doing it with accelerometers instead of gyroscopes.
