Step 11Prepare the Wrist Housing
The original Power Glove had 12 programming buttons at the top of the wrist. I didn't have room (in the wrist housing or pins on the Arduino) to use these. However, since we cut the board out from behind them, they don't have anything to press against now, except the internal electronics, oh no!
To prevent this, find a piece of strong, thin cardstock and cut it to cover the button backs. A postcard or Off-Road Velociraptor Safari promotional card should work. Punch three small holes where the screws went through the original PCB. Screw the cardstock in, as in the photo.
The control pad board will also work slightly better if it has some shims to press against. Cut two small pieces of layered cardstock or artboard and place them in the bottom corners of the wrist housing, as in the photo.
Cut a notch into the bottom half of the wrist housing's plastic, between the holes for the main wire bundle and the cable that connected to the console. Size this to fit your battery clip. I've included a photo of mine.
