I only printed the main hand piece, fingers, and the center disk, but you're welcome to print even more of the armor! Because you've been testing the system step-by-step, all that's left is to test to make sure the sketch was uploaded correctly.

Add some sensor integration. I was thinking about how best to control the light, and I found this incredible little sensor on sparkfun called a "bend sensor." This sensor acts as a variable resistor based on how much it's bent, kind of like a potentiometer. Adafruit sells one too. I was planning to hook up the lights with a simple dimming circuit either analog or with an attiny85 microcontroller.Figure out how you want to position the Lilypad MP3 between the glove and foam armor upper palm. Cut a slot in the upper palm bottom section to allow the speaker to be slid through. To get around the stk500 sync errors, once it's done compiling (there's a green progress bar in the Arduin IDE) the green progress bar will go away, that's when you turn on your Lilypad MP3.

Finally, connect a short length of copper wire to the battery leads. You want just enough to space out the battery from the repulsor, but a short enough length so that the battery remains hidden under the 3D printed pieces. I used more bare copper wire for this part, but in retrospect I would suggest using normal jumper wire. The Lilypad MP3 comes with the Trigger sketch preloaded. This sketch will play a sound from the microSD disc when the associated trigger pin (T1, T2, T3, T4, and T5) are pulled to ground.Put on the glove and hold the finger armor pieces in their intended place to see if they are too big/small

You really really really should rough up the general surface before painting to ensure a strong bond. If you used a connector to attach the NeoPixel to the Lilypad, cut a hole in the lower palm and thread the wire through such that the NeoPixel can be Velcroed/Glued to the foam armor but the wire can be threaded between the foam armor and the glove to the Lilypad on the upper palm. You have to clean up your prints a bit: smoothing out sharp parts, removing supports, cleaning up stringy parts.Using spare wire or alligator clips, connect/hold one end to the Lillypad's GND pin and tap any of the trigger pins. You should hear a different sound clip for each trigger pin. This step took way more work than I was expecting and is fairly optional, but in my opinion it was totally worth it. Here's the bottom line: Then use the positive and negative leads that you connected in number 3. Plug the other end of these wires into the traces connected to the positive and negative leads of the battery. The plus should denote the positive side, but if you're not sure, the circuit will only work one way, so try both! It's not that important in a simple circuit like this, but it is good practice to plug in the negative lead first.
