Awesome post. I know it is old- and I am with Nancy, we're trying to make a cool "toy" for a charity gala and I would love to piggy back off of your work, rather than start all over figuring out the display on the alcoscan. Please let me know if you would be willing to share your notes. Best, Brian Matt! Awesome post. I know it is old- and I am with Nancy, we’re trying to make a cool “toy” for a charity gala and I would love to piggy back off of your work, rather than start all over figuring out the display on the alcoscan.

Thanks... Hello,

Is there a way to hack the alcoscan to read 0.00 regardless of alcohol contained in breath?

Thanks…

Also, when upgrading to OSX 10.7 Lion, the default terminal now declares itself as 'xterm-256color' instead of 'xterm-color'. You should thus add the line 'TERM xterm-256color' to your .dir_colors file, or change the declaration in the Terminal settings. Note that updating OSX will overwrite things in /bin – I’ve instead started installing the gnu ls and dircolors in /usr/local/bin, and added the line ‘alias ls=’/usr/local/bin/ls -hF –color=auto’ to my .bash_profile file.

I remember wiring up my PG to a parallel port and playing volleyball in REND386 following the guide out of PCVR back in the 90's. You've totally brought the PG to a new level of awesome. Eat your heart out Wii. =) Man good work! I remember wiring up my PG to a parallel port and playing volleyball in REND386 following the guide out of PCVR back in the 90′s.

I dabble in hardware devices and literally just received my old powerglove (had my grandmother dig it out of storage boxes up north) as I had the idea of turning it into a theremin-like musical device. I started searching to see who else out there had a love for the old glove and stumbled across your video. I couldn't agree more with your quote: "No, I loved the Power Glove for what it represented -- a precursor to virtual reality, a way for humans to directly manipulate computers, like an artifact from some sort of alternate future Earth."

Many thanks for sharing it. What I'm stuck on is how to create the .xib files. Do they each have there own corresponding .h files, like is listed in the FBFrontendController.h in the #import statements? Do you by chance have a whole xcode/unity project with the Flashbang frontend implemented for download? Thanks again for sharing your work.

Tsk tsk to me. Though I know this post is pretty old, I was wondering if you ever got around to posting an instructable on how to construct such a device? We have a budget of $500 to spend on our project and I was hoping to avoid wasting $350 on piece that comes with a USB output. But it may be my only choice since my hardware hacking experience is pretty lame at best. Thank you for any help you can offer. This is truly an amazing work. - Nancy Hi Matt,
