Power Glove 20th Anniversary Edition

Step 3 Disassembly

First, carefully disassemble the original Power Glove. There are four screws for the wrist housing, found on its underside, and four screws for the palm housing. Remove the interior screws holding the wrist and palm boards in place, and remove the boards.

Using sidecuts, cut all the wires that attach to the wrist board, cutting as close to the board as possible. Discard the cable that originally connected to the game console. Cut all wires from the main wrist-palm bundle where they attach to the palm board, except the common output from the bend sensors (light blue in my model). DO NOT cut the wires that run from the palm board into the fingers. These connect to the bend sensors, and we'll keep them intact.

Desolder the wires that you cut from the palm board, as we'll be using these connections to connect the multiplexer outputs to the palm board.

Your approach is much cleaner, I ended up cutting the cables and connecting them right to my Arduino analog inputs. I had someone else wear the glove and flex their fingers while I probed the wires with a multimeter!
