Make your iPhone / iPod work though your gloves

Cool. Now where do you keep this phone while you are riding. I keep mine inside my jacket so i can't really take it out very often.

you can use a ram mount. how ever you can't use one of the water proof ones.

I say some person who had a forearm mount that allowed him to press the button while riding. I am trying to find one right now. I know the people at the gym have those upper arm mounts but they all have a plastic cover which defeast the whole purpose of the project.

Oh, maybe the next project will be finding a good mount and adding 12V dc adapter for charging while riding

Hey guys,

You should check out my winter project at this thread here: http://www.ninjette.org/forums/showthread.php?t=34273

But heres a video the current state of the project: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXDx_MwaPWg

I will be posting my own thread on this board soon to get some input from you guys!

The author overly complicated his power up system. There is no need for the apple charging block.

he/she could've gotten a universal cigg. lighter usb, and eliminated the power inverter (which seems to be a high power draw unit) and the apple block. The apple block reduces the 120V power to the very low amp that usb requires.

Yes very good point. Actually some other people suggested replacing my power inverter with a 4805 voltage regulator(http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...ductId=2062599)... which allowed me to convert a 12v source to 5v with a small little chip. There is a little heat generated from this.. but it is negligible powering an Arduino and iPhone.

Here is the pic: http://www.ninjette.org/forums/showp...7&postcount=20

However with this solution and the one you suggest... you won't be able to charge your iPhone/iPod touch with only a 5v rail from a normal USB port. You will need to ground USB pins 2 and 3 with a resistor of some sort (i used 500k ohm) to enable charging on your phone. This is why I had to use the apple charging plug the first time round... it's pins where properly grounded where the power inverter wouldn't power my phone via it's USB port!

I will be posting updates to the power setup when i manage to get an hour or two to create some new graphics!

You can make it neater but it need to take up that area of your finger print to work best. It basically so you done have to push you finger right into the end of the glove and to use make a connection.
