Although my computer is inoperable, I decided to play with a glove I
just bought to see if it works.  I just plugged in a 9v battery that
was converted to 5v in to power and ground pins of the base unit.  The
problem is that when I power the glove and L-thing up (1) the
status-light on the glove does not always come on when I press any of
the buttons and (2) when everything is working, the LED on the L-thing
does not indicate in which direction I am moving my hand although Prog
2 works, ( I can still center the glove).

With several flicks of the power switch to the glove, 10-20 times, the
led on the glove does work but the l-thing's lights does not move
according to my hand but remains static.  Anybody?

I did check my voltage source and it is slightly higher then 5v, @5.1.
Should it make a difference?
