Binary Glove

Originally uploaded by Professor Shiny.

A tool for teaching binary finger counting. You hold up the correct finger representation of a binary number and the chip translates to decimal on the 7 segment display. This was a lot of fun to build, and a lot of work too. Very rewarding to have the idea drive development, rather than the last few projects where technology lead the plan. Learned a lot about BASIC, including that it doesn’t have a power function so you have to write your own. My code includes subroutines for running the seven segment counter display, which could come in useful later.
