Finished project: exploding high-five glove!
This project is finished and critiqued via the Electronics as an Art Material class in SAIC. Many thanks to Mitchell F. Chan and Ed Bennett, without whom I would be sitting in dejected failure. Ed’s help gave me a working circuit and a working wave shield, Mitchell wrote the majority of the code and altered the code from Lady Ada’s AF-Wave library.
materials used: 1 uF capacitor, 22k resistor, Wave Shield, Arduino Uno, force sensor, speaker, mono jack, 9V battery, 2 gig SanDisk SD card, silicon glue, wire, thread, leather glove.

Awesome work Eli! You deserve a high f–

Nice thing, awesome idea. But a huge arduino looks kind of too big for such a project. (Unless you’re wanting to make it look cyberpunk-style) A very small pcb and some small uC like attiny in SOIC or MLF factor would do the trick nicely. ot even a pure analog version in several transistors. Anyway, nice idea.
Geeky, pretty and pierced, perfect combo. Wish I could have one of my own just like it.

…not that cool, sorry. You could use an accelerometer. And if you used real electronics instead of this arduino crap it would be honorable. But these kind of hacks are just like little kids playing with lego blocks

Awesome idea! Love it.
Very clever idea Eli…
I know it made me think of my collision-sensing hardware ideas for my rover (robotgestation.com). I’ve been playing with an electret microphone, but (better) might be a piezo disk – it could be glued into the palm (risky) or back of the hand (safer). It’s much more sensitive than a resistive element, and faster response too.
A light pipe (small diameter fibre optic) could also be woven into the fabric, and uses changes in visible LED light levels due to reflectance changes when the glove is hit or moved. It’s a lot less sensitive (well, it IS inherently sensitive, but detecting changes in the light tends to be a lot of work unless you can find matched emitter/detector pairs).
But still a nice design to start with. Now you need a whoopee cushion version…. hee hee.
I’m excited.
Eli, as a fellow techie girl (but not in hardware :/ ), I just want to say – you are awesome!! :O)

Two quick ways to improve this: One- Get a box, to put the brains into, with the exception of the force censor. Make the box look cool and attach it to a belt or a strap of some kind and mount the speaker on the box, cutting a hole in it for the speaker. Two- Solder some wires to the force censor, so it can reach the box, where ever you have it mounted. You can hide the wires under your clothes or leave it out for some cool cyborg effect. Bam! Now it looks so much cooler!

I had a toy that did something like this in the early 90s, but damned if I can remember what it was called! They had several versions of them, mostly in fluorescent colors. It was a vaguely bean-shaped object you’d strap onto your wrist, powered by a 9V battery, with selectable comic-book-like sounds (boom, zoing, boff!
that would be triggered by any abrupt movement (e.g. punching, high-fiving, or even just dropping your arm to your side).
id love to put it in a power glove. you’re super cute too!

I think this could have applications in the adult film industry.
The glove is fantastic. Great job, especially with the coding so it only fires on high fives. You already mentioned condensing the rig, but I have two more suggestions. You could add similar but unique explosion sounds, 3 or 4 total. Making consecutive high fives more gratifying an less annoying. Then, using surface mount red and yellow LEDs on the back of the glove, add in some code to make them strobe quickly and fade on the fire command. If you build this and make a million dollars, I will be waiting for my check :]
Again, congratulations on the piece. Keep up the good work.

No techie feedback but why not put the sensor on the exterior of the glove ie on the knuckles
then you could do that whole greeting people by punching them!!! on their knuckles… thang! (otherwise known as rapping someones knuckles) to to an uproar of C4, TNT etc. powered approval and and you could still (very occasionally Im sure) scratch yourself without drawing too much attention.. teehee!
PS where are the rhinestones!!!!!
