Wireless Glove Controlled Electric Mountainboard

I'm Andres Guzman-Ballen, incoming Computer Engineering graduate student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and this is my wireless glove controlled electric mountainboard. The only thing that really changed between my last video and this one was being able to control the board with the glove that I made.

If you have any questions, check out this detailed Instructables link that I made: http://www.instructables.com/id/Wireless-Glove-Controlled-Electric-Mountainbo.... That should hopefully give you all insight into what it was I did, my thought process, and the sort.

This is extremely amazing i saw this a while back and voted for you congrats on placing, Have you ever heard of the anime Air Gear? If you know what air treks are i bet that you can defiantly pull off making a pair of them.

@JunIzumi4 Thanks; I appreciate it! Maybe in the future I'll do them lolol we'll see hahaha

I know you've heard a lot of this, but it would really be appreciated if you described how you built the board, like an instructable or so. I, like many others, are inspired by your project and want to create something like it. Also, what is the total cost for the mountainboard and each controller?

@werty2u Hey! Check out the description box; I made an instructables for the public! I hope it helps.

Lots of people are clamoring for documentation - sharing is caring! The main reason is that there are many people who would love to learn things that you may take for granted, or you may have learned by building this thing that you may not realize.

I'm very curious about the use of the op-amp to make the flex sensor more stable. I've had stability issues with several kinds of sensors, and didn't realize the current may be the problem. Have a schematic?

@Jason90123 Hey! I made an instructables page and you can see it on the description box! Hmm oh now that I see your comment on the op-amp, the schematic actually comes with the flex sensor on how to do that. I should include that too; I forgot about that question.

I looked for your video on the link you provided for 10 minutes and couldn't find it.
