• 2 buttons for playing notes or turning on and off effects

Parts List:

• Female header sockets (1x20, 1x16, 1x5)
• 4x 2-pin pushbuttons
• 2x 3-pin switches
• 6x 10kΩ resistors
• Protoboard (at least 18x24)
• ESP32 IoT Board with Lipo Port https://tinkersphere.com/boards/2831-esp32-iot-board-with-lipo-port.html
• ADXL335 (triple-axis accelerometer) https://tinkersphere.com/sensors/1286-analog-triple-axis-accelerometer-breakout-adxl335.html
• 1x Lithium Ion Polymer Battery https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L0W61VO/

(I recommend breadboarding it first)

For the Arduino code, you'll need the BLE_MIDI library: https://github.com/lathoub/Arduino-BLE-MIDI

I never made a schematic, but as long as you know how to wire buttons and switches you should be good. The only other wiring is for the accelerometer, which goes directly from the X and Y pins of the accelerometer to any analog pins on the ESP32.

Here's a pretty picture of it, though:

Here's a video showing how to use the glove: https://www.youtube.com/embed/g6u06UhuX4E

I should note this glove is a slightly different version that includes a light sensor (photocell).
