Arduino Powered Heated Glove Liners

Arduino Powered Heated Gloves

     This project is on how to make the world's smartest heated glove liners for extremely cold conditions like those in Minnesota or people who have Raynaud's syndrome(like me). These gloves will provided you with hours of comfortable temperature controlled warmth in even the coldest conditions. What makes them so special is that they have to two heating elements in each glove that are individually controlled by an Arduino pro mini. 

Step 1 What You Need

     This project will cost around 100 dollars give or take. Which is a great price compared to the ones you can buy for at least $200(and those ones are not even temperature controlled). Plus you get to make these ones, which is the fun part!

For this project you will need:
-Glove liners                                     $5-$20         Walmart or any sports store
-(5 Feet) 22 gauge copper wire    $7                 Ebay
-Ribbon wire(Thin Wire)                $5-$10         Online
-(2)9v Batteries                                $0-$3           Anywhere
-(2)9v Battery adapters                  $6                  Radio Shack
-(2)Arduino Pro Mini 328-5V/16MHz    $40       Sparkfun
-Velcro 1in by 5in                            $0-$5            Fabric store or from a kids watch
-(4)Lm335A sensors                     $6                  Sparkfun
-Shipping                                         $10
Total(Estimate)---------------------- $107            *Give or take a few bucks depending on what you already have.    

Tools Required/Suggested:
Soldering iron
Lead Solder
Pliers
Scissors
Utility knife
Thread and needle
Electrical tape
Duct tape probably (I use it in almost all my projects)
Helping Hand

Skills required:
Intermediate soldering skills
Basic sewing skills
Basic programming skills
Mechanical and creativity skills(trust me this project will not go perfect, so make this project your own.)

Hey I have a question for you, I have attempted to make a pair of heated gloves, minus the Arduino part, and am having issues, not sure where to go to find answer. I am using a 30 AWG Teflon coated hook up wire from Newark Electronics, was told roughly 93 Ohms resistance/1000', a Radio Shack Battery Holder with 2 AA's, and a switch. My gloves get really warm for about 25 mins, and the batteries get warm too(concerning) and then the gloves stop heating. I find it hard to believe that I'm only getting 25 mins of heat from 2 -1.2 volt/2500 maH batteries ? 6 watts of output ? Any insight would be extremely helpful, Thanks!

I really like this idea because it has purpose

Sweet I was going to buy some but now I may just think about making them!

These are great! Boy, can I use a pair of these! Raynauds here, as well!
Hint, hint, hint to my son at instructables!!!
