# Superhero Power Gauntlet ## Overview https://youtu.be/XhfdyA_Gk8s?t=14 This project will help you build a super hero glove that lights up, plays sound, and reacts to your movement. The sound effects are easy to change and if you are willing to get into a bit of code the LEDs are easy to adjust as well. This project involves electronics, 3D printing with post production painting, and some premade Arduino Code. Now on the to stuff we will need to build our project. ## Parts ### Adafruit Feather 32u4 Basic Proto [Adafruit Feather 32u4 Basic Proto](https://www.adafruit.com/product/2771) **Feather** is the new development board from Adafruit, and like its namesake it is thin, light, and lets you fly!
