    Why stop with just the glove? With a few more accelerometers you could have yourself a complete light or heavy exoskeleton, you could even be armor plated and look like you belong in Halo. So says youtube "boston dynamics exoskeleton", fwiw.
    My mind says Technic, but my body says Duplo.

    Well this is now a moot point. I killed the accelerometer on accident.

    heh... how was I supposed to know that it was 3v only when the data sheet I got with it said 3-5v operating range....... I did not see any white smoke though, just no output from it now.

    So now the question is "What to do with a broken accelerometer?"
    My mind says Technic, but my body says Duplo.

    Well its smaller than a 5mm LED but the breakout board its on is about 3/4 the size of a quarter. I may order a new accelerometer from digi key and try my hand at fine pinch hand soldering. Might be the excuse I need to buy a hot air rework station!

    Pah, you don't need that junk. Hand methods are always best. Check here and here

    (Yes, I can do this. No I can't do it anywhere near as well as these guys. I am teh suXors compared to them. Just sayin' you don't need big equipment to do big quality.)

    Hehe, I only trust documentation of the manufacturer of the IC. Did you order those level logic converters I showed you?
