gollark: Fascinating.
gollark: Wait, how are you going to connect 5 accelerometers to a thing on a glove?
gollark: VERY apiaristic software challenges with that though, specifically in getting its "digital motion processor" to be useful.
gollark: I'm using a MPU6050 module for a project (at school, we're doing robotics stuff) but that has nice breadboardable pins.
gollark: I can probably convince my parents to get me random electronic components as it's Christmas soon, and also probably should maybe.
