IR Glove

Quick DIY infrared glove for use with Johnny Lee's wiimote whiteboard hack.

What you'll need:















A:
An AA battery holder
B: Infrared LED
C: Small momentary switch
D: A glove (not pictured)

Solder a wire from the negative side of the AA battery holder to the smaller end of the infrared LED. Then, solder the positive side of the AA battery holder to the momentary switch (just one of the prongs). On the opposite side of the momentary switch solder a wire going from there to the longer end of the infrared led. Make sure to leave enough wire so that you can put the momentary switch into the glove at the tip of the index finger. Place the infrared LED on the top of the index finger pointed in the same direction of the index finger. For more information please watch my video in the $40 DIY Lemur post that is soon to come.
