Well according to the mildly helpful tech guy--who could not seem to understand a word I was saying when I tried to explain anything *sigh*--the problem with the glove. There were a couple. Not that I didn't already know that. I think we eventually managed to over come the language barriers. It's amazing how you can be speaking the same language and still not connect at all.1. The extra stitching that I put on the glove added extra resistance in the circuit which means it needed more power in order to actually light up. (aka, I screwed myself over by over doing the whole thing. This is a habit I need to break, yet somehow I keep thinking... if I just do a little more it'll work!)
2. The little 3volt battery that I was using to power the thing wasn't really enough power to begin with. So with the added resistance in the circuit it really wasn't enough to power my ten little LED lights.
But who wants a great big battery hanging out in odd places? There hast to be a better power solution. Yes the triple AAA battery isn't that big but... Oh well. Anyway out of time and a big crit this Friday I need to finish stuff up for. And I have see the light! Hahhaha, about like saying I know what it's like to take a break or 'down time' what's that? *disappears*
