The total cost was $87.29 including batteries but excluding printed parts and the PCB as of writing.

You will also likely require:

  • Solder and a soldering iron
  • Dupont cables (or the connectors and a crimping kit to make your own for better cable management)
  • Velcro (or an alternative way to secure the gloves)
  • Foam (for comfort)
  • Optionally some joysticks and buttons
  • 4 short USB-C cables to attatch your batteries to the board if they don't come with some

Questions

How big is the LucidGloves PCB?

It measures 73.7 × 50.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the LucidGloves use?

30 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the LucidGloves KiCad files?

From the Glitch752/LucidGlovesPCB repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is lucidGloves.kicad_pcb and its schematic lucidGloves.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the LucidGloves design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the Unlicense licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
