Hardware Assembly - sparkfun Qwiic Flex Glove Controller SEN-14666 Hook-Up Manual

The holes in the bottom corners of the board are used for sewing the board into the gloves of your choice.
Make sure you don't crease the flex sensors as this will break the sensor!

Hardware Assembly

If you haven't yet assembled your Qwiic Shield, now would be the time to head on over to that tutorial.
QWIIC SHIELD FOR ARDUINO PHOTON HOOKUP GUIDE
With the shield assembled, SparkFun's new Qwiic environment means that connecting the sensor could not be
easier. Just plug one end of the Qwiic cable into the Flex Glove Controller breakout, the other into the Qwiic Shield
of your choice and you'll be ready to upload a sketch and figure out how bent your fingers are. It seems like it's too
easy to use, but that's why we made it that way!
You may want to integrate this board into some gloves, after all, that's what it was originally designed for. If you're
s
looking to get sensors on 8 fingers, you'll need 4 glove boards, and if you have 4 boards on the same I C bus,
you'll need to use every address available to the ADS1015. So get started by changing the addresses of your
boards so no two boards share the same address.
Now we want to attach our boards to our gloves. We've found it best to sandwich the board between two layers of
gloves to keep the sensor flush with the finger. To accomplish this, we'll sew the board to the outer layer of the
inner glove. First, lay the glove out flat and place the board on the glove so that the ends of the flex sensors reach
the tips of the fingers.
