That’s great, but why does it need an entire microcontroller and stuff to transmit morse over radio, when a little transmitter/receiver chip will do the same job with less bulk?

I totally thought of this when I was in school! I wanted to build a simple transmitter/receiver “dead bug style” inside a pen, using the button on the end as a key and having a tiny LED somewhere so you could message people with a similar pen. The only problem is you’d need to learn morse :)

Actually, now I think about it you can use a 1MHz oscillator as a simple AM transmitter than can be picked up by commercial radios tuned to 1000. Perhaps I’ll resurrect the idea.

I was mistaken. It was one cap and one resistor. Replace the resistor with a resistive sensing element and you’ve got yourself a tiny telemetry transmitter.

@melt and @liam actually there isn’t a microcontroller on the glove, it’s just the lilypad circuit board with Xbee nicely attached for ease of sewing. Because the Xbee itself would be damn near impossible to sew those little pins.

The guy kinda reminds me of sylar…

Now the glove looks all sinister…

well, I’ll say this… the one on the right is a total stud muffin. I dunno about that muppet looking girl though. And why isn’t there a more manly thread friendly arduino clone…

woah.. she’s hot.. pix please.

@3d:

how will that help me get pix of her?
