Musical Glove

We made a musical glove using the BBC Microbit and based on a design by Helen Leigh. We programmed it to make a different sound depending on what compass direction the wearers hand was pointed. and also based on how your hand moved in the x,y and z plane.

The glove was made by Laura and the circuit soldered by Claire, helped by Duncan.
