Hacking a Powerglove

First of all lets get this out of the way... It's so bad 

This is going to be showing how to hack the Nintendo Powerglove. By hack I mean tap into the flex sensors and use the buttons and d pad and add anything you want. In my case I added an accelerometer. 

I got mine from Ebay for around $40. These gloves have 4 flex sensors similar to these: http://www.sparkfun.com/products/8606

Now these are $12 a piece, it's way cheaper to buy a Powerglove for 4 sensors and get a bunch of other awesome things then buy 4 of these.

PowerGlove 是个神马玩意儿？？？

呵呵，我也不知道，去搜了搜，找到一些信息：

2009/06/14，Power Glove：玩到你手抽筋

一段使用Power Glover 玩游戏的视频。

Power Glover 原本是任天堂在1989年发布的一个游戏外设，当时主要用于NES 主机上。我不知道这么高级的手套能为那个8-bit 的游戏增添些什么效果，不过在这Power Glover 发布20年之际，有人把它找了出来，经过改装之后让它在新的游戏主机上获得重生。

# 改造作者Matt Mechtley 为Power Glove 还增加了蓝牙无线设备。作者Flickr 上还有详细的基板解剖图。

具体效果，就看看后面那个4分钟的视频吧：

视频原链接，作者玩的游戏是这个。
