The drum glove was created during a project to 'soundify an object'. The end result had to be fun however a final model was not required, instead we were told to make functional prototypes as proof of the concept.
Arduino
The prototype was coded in Arduino using 4 additional libraries that handled the SD card and the MP3 sheild.

Work I am NOT responsible for is labelled as such
Due to the way the code is setup any 5 tracks can be loaded onto the SD card and provided they are named correctly the prototype will function.
by tapping the against a surface with the glove, the pressure sensors cause a sound to play
Wiring
Pressure sensors were used to gauge the force with which each finger was tapping which in turn decided the volume that the audio was played at.
Due to the fact that we were creating a prototype a switch was not implimented in the design, instead the prototype was turned on and off simply by connecting and disconnecting the power source
The majority of the prototypes capabilities were due to the MP3 sheild
A speaker was the only output required for the prototype.

Prototype
The prototype was created purely for functionality and as such the entirety of the wiring is accessible
Prototype modelled/wired by Muhib Miah
In order to demonstrate the functionality of the prototype properly the prototype was taped onto muhib's arm
If the prototype were to be developed fully the arduino would be replaced with a smaller alternative and more expensive 'wearable' technology would be used
