Summary of How to Make a SensorGlove With Android Connection
This article outlines building a mobile input glove using Arduino and Bluetooth. It details sewing SensorFlex strips to fingers, soldering connections on a PCB, and linking the system to an Arduino UNO via an HC-06 module for wireless control.
Parts used in the Mobile Input Glove:
- Gloves
- SensorFlex (2.2in or 5.4in)
- Black breadboard jumper wires
- Red breadboard jumper wires
- Green breadboard jumper wires
- Yellow breadboard jumper wires
- 330 ohm resistors
- Perforated PCB Board
- Arduino UNO
- Bluetooth module HC-06
The aim is to create an input system for mobile devices, which is controlled by the movements of the fingers, in this case with the help of a glove.

Step 1: Creating the Glove Connectors
Materials:
- Gloves
- 5 sensorFlex(2.2in or 5.4in)
- 7 black breadboard jumper wires (for negative)
- 7 red breadboard jumper wires(for positives)
- 5 green breadboard jumper wires (for signal)
- 2 yellow breadboard jumper wires (for Bluetooth Tx/Rx)
- 5 ohm resistors 330
- 1 PCB Board Perforated
- 1 arduino UNO
- 1 bluetooth module HC-06
Step 2: Welding SensorFlex With Jumpers
- Right: Positive
- Left: Negative
Step 3: Join SensorFlex and the Glove by Sewing
*IMPORTANT: The purpose of this is to move the SensorFlex so close to the fingers as be possible
Step 4: Welding Glove With PCB Board
- Solder the 5 red jumpers to the same bus and 2 red jumpers as Output
- Solder a black jumper with a resistance and a green jumper as Output to the same side of resistance (Between black jumper and resistance)
- Solder the 5 resistance to the same bus and 2 black jumpers as Output
Step 5: Connect With Arduino and Bluetooth
Connect the green jumpers to the Arduino Analog Inputs.
- Thumb jumper = A0
- Index jumper = A1
- Middle jumper = A2
- Ring jumper = A3
- Pinky jumper = A4
Connect a black jumper to the Arduino GND Output and the other to Bluetooth GND Input
Connect a red jumper to the Arduino 5v Output and the other to Bluetooth +5v Input
Bluetooth:
- Bluetooth Tx -> Pin2 Arduino
- Bluetooth Rx -> Pin3 Arduino

What is the aim of this project?
The aim is to create an input system for mobile devices controlled by finger movements using a glove. -
How should SensorFlex be joined to the glove?
It must be sewn onto the glove so that the SensorFlex moves as close to the fingers as possible. -
Which Arduino pins connect to the Bluetooth module?
Bluetooth Tx connects to Pin 2 and Bluetooth Rx connects to Pin 3 on the Arduino. -
What are the specific Analog Inputs assigned to each finger?
The thumb uses A0, index uses A1, middle uses A2, ring uses A3, and pinky uses A4. -
How are the power lines connected between the Arduino and Bluetooth module?
A red jumper connects the Arduino 5v Output to the Bluetooth +5v Input, and a black jumper connects GND to GND. -
What color wires are used for negative connections?
Seven black breadboard jumper wires are used for negative connections.
