- TIP: It is not mentioned in the video, however, it is recommended to tin your wire connections with solder. This will make the wire ends a little stronger, and it will be less likely to slip off of the screw terminals. Tinning the wire connections is highly recommended. Placing electrical tape over the screw terminals may also prevent: loose screws from falling out, and tension relief on the wires.

This looks much easier than I imagined! Will definitely have to use this for my fallout cosplay. Thank you!
TK90262 here.
I got tired of my voice through the mic.
Did this project and it's awesome and was easy. Thanks.
Thank you!! I've wanted to do a sound glove for my Tusken but have never worked with electronics. You have broken this down so well I think I can do this.
How have you not hit 10,000 subs yet? Your videos are definitely among the more helpful simple cosplay tutorials, and you go well past the extra mile with your intros and shot quality.
Hello HollowDestruction, many thanks for the complement. You have no idea how happy it makes me to receive feedback like this. I have a lot of fun working on these props and videos & I'm glad that there's an audience for this type of stuff. Hearing from fans like you keeps me motivated to do more. Thank you again for taking the time to leave a comment.
This video is fantastic, thanks for the awesome animated graphics. You made this very easy to follow and understand!
This was awesome, I hope to see more videos with electronic stuff like this!
Electronics123.com sent this to the UK within 2 days. Awesome! Thanks for this dude.
glad to have you back happy trooper your tutorials are top notch! Keep up the great videos
Dude!! You are the best cosplay how to channel I have ever come across. This video will be helpful for my tusken costume! Thankyou!!!
I did this project as well.
I am a TK, so I had to put the soundboard in my chest area. My glove wouldn't fit around the soundboard.
I also mounted the 9 bolt battery in chest area too.
But it works awesome!
This was really useful I am making a jawa cosplay for my little brother and i wanted to put a sound board thank you
Awesome! We need this for our daughter's Jawa costume. Where did you get the sounds from?
Sorry but this is 3 years old
Over 3k views and only 1 dislike... That's how you know you're an awsome youtuber
Thank you for sharing this! Just what I was looking for!
Thank you for this tutorial. I'm not going to use this for a costume but I will use this for a control panel I will be making. Again thank you
Helping a friend with a cosplay costume and this helped IMMENSELY thank you
Great video! I was wondering if connecting one or two 10w speaker directly to the board would work better than using a voice amplifier, what do you say? Is the amplifier quite loud?
Just finished my sound glove, followed your video. Electronics123 were great, fast shipping. Thanks for the help, one happy Tusken. DZ19446
Greetings fellow Denizen! Glad you got your glove constructed. One thing I should have put in the video...if you are using those screw terminals, the wires will stay connected better if you "tin" the ends of the finger trigger wires with some solder. See you out on the Jundland Wastes! -DZ10900
Mine Works Great for my clone! Thanks!!!! Any way of making multiple tracks? Like if i click 1 and 3 does that make a new sound? Curious. THANKS!@@HappyTrooperDotCom
Great Video! I thought about something similar a while back. Did you think about using Reed-Switches? Also, in my project i would have used a molex connection between the glove and the electronics, so i could remove them more easily since my electronics would have been located on my back.
Never the less, very well done sir!
just finished a jawa ion blaster came out great
Maybe if I have time and the money I'll definitely be coming back here to do this I have a year of prep time for what I'm trying to do.
Thanks for that information it will help me in my jawa cosplay!
Awesome tutorial! I want to use a soundboard to make the iDroid from MGS5
This video was SOOO helpful, thank you so much. But question, after getting everything working there is a "click" sound when the mp3 file is done playing - but not when I play the sound on the computer, any thoughts on why this is? And what I can do to fix it?
This super well explained!!! Excellent tutorial for someone who doesn't know what they're doing lol, I'm going to try to attempt this with a Springtrap cosplay. Thank you!!
Going to use this for my Kakashi with chidori cosplay! This was so helpful!
Hey!!.. Thanks for the video!! I have 1 question. Can i use a normal speaker like those cubes ones which you plug a 3.5mm jack instead of a voice amplifier? i find those to have higher speaker volume which will helps alot in open crowded places
glove works great thanks so much for this video
I know this is a long shot but would you be able to advise if it is possible to rig an LED to this set up so that when any of the sounds are played, the LED would light up for the duration of the sound?
Awesomeness 🌴🌴🌴 I loved it. Great video
Awesome. Gonna use this for my tusken raider
great tutorial, thanks!!
Question, is it possible to make it so that it plays one tone when the button is pressed, and another when it's released?
Good stuff buddy!
You're a Legend thank you so much and you make it easy to follow, thank you love it....... (C.141)
Very helpful, thanks
Great tutorial, you were a huge help! Though I do have one question, is it possible to add multiple sounds to one button? (e.g. Storm Trooper Sound Glove, Button one can have several different voice lines of "yes" Button 2 can have different voice lines of "no", etc.)
Hello King Griff, I don't think it is possible to add multiple sounds to one button. The soundboard can only "see" 4 files, named 001, 002, 003, and 004. Anything other than that and it will ignore them.
Try using music making software and use multiple sound effects and save them all on one mp3 file
pretty sweet idea!
Was thinking of doing something similar for a long time. A soundboard with those square button put on top of my stomach
yoooo thank you so much i need this for my blue velocerapotor fursuit !!!
Hey this would work great for the Fem!Eddie + Venom costume I'm thinking of doing next year. My one arm would be Venom and I'd make a plush head I could stick my hand into. The head would hide the amp and the wiring perfectly!
Awesome! I didn't know how to put into words what I was looking for, but this is exactly what I needed. I will be the best Elmo knockoff my son has ever seen!
Is there anything with more buttons? I was looking for something that has around 8-15 buttons.
hey great tutorial thank you so much for the vid. I'm having fun working with the mp3 player- i found the 501st jawa loop and added the sand dune song from the SW soundtrack to it- the voice amp you wear has a usb playback port that you can make use of by loading the loop onto a usb flash drive- so you get the loop playing on repeat while the buttons work at the same time= very fun. My only complaint is the volume on the board can only be controlled if you are using the speaker wire output. The volume can't be altered if you are using the headphone jack which stinks. So, I'm going to have to jimmy a wire i already have or find a speaker wire to headphone jack wire - which i would suggest anyone do. The volume is automatically set to MAX on the board and it sounds a little distorted because of that. It's CRAZY loud LOL! so yeah, speaker wire audio output from the mp3 board is the way to go!
Just seeing this video now as I dive into a similar project, but for a halloween costume. Could you in essence use longer wiring for your trigger buttons and have the board/battery housed in something that attaches to your belt? It would take up less space on your wrist/hand for any kind of costume/gloves worn. Thoughts?
Do you a version of this using blue tooth with seperate power supply to allow for the unit to be store on the body/inside helmet.
Please do a DLT-20a
I love your videos HappyTrooper and this one was simple and easy to understand. I just have one question: how do you upload your own sounds on the mp3 board? like, where do I download the sounds and how do I "name your sounds the same format as the sample sound." Your feedback would be very much appreciated, I am trying to create a jawa costume.
Search Jawa Sounds or similar in Google or CZcams.
To rename files, you can right click the file name, then click rename and change to the right name.
If you need to cut up sounds, you software like Audacity.
Can you put several sound files on the same button and how do I do it
So i bought the whole kit 2 years ago for a dragon puppet i made and it was amazing, when everywhere else was quiet. lol. When you are in a large convention hall where its noisy i couldnt hear the speaker unless your ear pressed to the dragon. Luckily the cosplay contest prejudging was in a quiet rooms o the judges could hear it. Can anyone recommend a good speaker that is compatible with this? I need something very loud to go through the thick layers of the costume im working on now. ( I have a video on my channel of my Bear costume for reference of how large / thick)
Nice.
You’re my hero
OMG thank you !!!
Amazing!
Is it possible to make one of these buy with it controlling different LED patterns instead?
I'm working on my very first cosplay, a Jawa, and I am planning on doing this glove project. I'm wondering if you can have multiple sound bytes per button; or if there is another type of soundcard, or something else, that can allow for that. Thanks!
The board in this video does not allow for more than 4 sounds. However, the pre-built board, allows you to "stack" sounds on each button. Using the PM66 software, you can load multiple sounds on each button, and it will cycle through them as you press it. bit.ly/2IlpCTj
@@HappyTrooperDotCom is there any way you can do it now on mac? I’m going to do the Jawa cosplay but think I’ll only need 1 button and put it on random Jawa noises
can you wire like 4 buttons to the same ground?
Just wanted to note, for the same price listed of the "4 button sound board" from 123electronics.com, you can get the Adafruit 2MB Sound board for $16 on Amazon, give's you "10 Buttons", and for $24 you can get the 16MB version. Thanks for the video!
Hey there Nperez1986, can you wire the button the same way into that board as in the video?
Any clue where to get the board in Canada? The shipping to Canada from them is almost as much as the stuff I need from them.
Nice work trooper.
TK/TB-41066, out.
what about sweating? does that effect it? cant it blow a circuit or connection?
i notice that there's no dislike, and a good video must always have a dislike. So in order to turn this video into a good one, i will dislike it but know that in my heart, i love it.
Is there a limit to how long the sound can be? So would an entire song work?
Thank You - I'm using your tech to make a push-button vocoder my dog can use.
can you add sounds to the board for one cosplay and use a card to use with another cosplay aka jawa and tuscan or is it best to make another glove?
Hello Jeff, if you don't mind swapping sounds, you can get away with one card. Chances are, you will wear 1 costume for one event (a Jawa for example). You can load up the glove with 4 Jawa sounds. The next week, if you do an event as a Tusken, you can load up the sounds for that costume. It just takes a few minutes to connect the glove via USB cable to a PC/Mac to change out the sounds. Its up to you. Thank you for watching :)
You rock!!!!
So just wondering but do i need the amplifier or can i just use a speaker?
question, if i held down the button for a while or like it sat the wrong was on a desk and was pressed down for a long period of time. would it repeat the sound?
Is there anything smaller I could use the voice amplifier is to big to fit under my half mask piece
Does it matter what amplifier you use?
i need a bit of help, i want to build this for my tusken cosplay, but if i put the buttons where you put them, i cant hold my gaffi stick tight. and when putting them on my finger tips i couldnt do things liking eating without turning the sounds on. i thought about placing them between my fingers, but that way i could activate them to easily by just moving my fingers around. Any Ideas where to put them?
I am building something similar. However, my costume involves pyrotechnics and a GP5 Russian Gas Mask. Got any ideas regarding the filter? The filters contain asbestos but I want to clean it out and shove a speaker in the filter. I am fried and completely stumped here.
My hand is very large. Are there other compression gloves you would recommend in a bigger size?
nice, that's really cool
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it. I was worried because I stepped away from Star Wars props for this project. Fear not...I'll be getting back to some weapons now that the sound glove is complete! Glad you were able to make a lightsaber! MTFBWY
Hello my friend, very good job. I am from Mexico, how do I put 4 voices per button and when connecting it to the PC, it recognizes the MP3 card, if you could help me, I appreciate it, I just don't speak English.
cannot find the sound card folder. usb power works, and the four preloaded sounds work. But when plugged into mac mini, I cannot find the sound card folder. HELP!!!
awesome video!just a quick question.would i be able to play one sound on a loop when the button is pressed and have it playing until i press the button again to turn it off?kind of like a replica lightsaber.you turn it on and it hums non stop until it turns off(i hope that makes sense)
Hello, thank you for watching. This appears to be a very simply sound board that is controlled by 4 triggers. I am not aware of a method to re-program its behavior. Once a trigger is pressed, the sound is played. The sound must complete before another button is pressed. So, you cannot keep pressing different buttons to trigger the sounds while a sound is already playing. Holding a button down simply plays the sound until it completes. You would then need to press the button again to generate the sound.
HappyTrooper thank you for the reply!keep up the good work.this glove video really helped me figure out a lot that I didn't know.
so you can only play 4 sounds maximum? How does the button know which one to press? Is it based on the file name, like you had 001, 002 etc?
Can you have more than one phrase or saying for each button? I might try this for my Jawa costume. Thanks
Hello and good morning from Florida!!! Happy I am getting ready to build one of these and I am wondering how to have more than 4 sounds. Like possibly 8 sounds for my Jawa. Any input on this sir?
Hello James, thank your for watching. It would be best to reach out to the vendor to check on the capabilities of the sound card that you plan on purchasing. If you purchase from Electronics 123, they should be able to help you with the answer to your question. Best of luck during your build :)
@@HappyTrooperDotCom awesome! Thanks!
Will any speaker size work with this?
Amazing I made your DL-44
How sensitive are the buttons? Think they would be pressed under thick latex gloves?
I am sorry for the late response. It is difficult to explain the sensitivity. It does take some effort to push them down. The button must be pressed down about 2mm to make contact. I'm not sure how they would work with latex gloves. I have Greedo hands in latex, they are kind of tight, I won't be able to wear a sound glove. Will you have some space in your latex gloves to wear the sound glove? If you don't have a lot of clearance in the latex gloves, this may not be a good solution :( Also, the battery and sound board may cause some issues with your latex (tears/tension).
relly cool man..
How do you prevent accidental triggering? Like, for example, if someone shakes your hand and accidentally presses a button?
I've had the same issue, but I've come up a few solutions. Solution one: You actually make one of the buttons a "silent noise". If you accidentally hit a button, push that button will immediately mute the glove. Option two is wiring in an on off switch of some sort. I've found a great button to do this with, as it could use screws or glue to secure it in a pinch and has a spring and lock, so I can just press on it, and I'll feel it turn off or on. Additionally, I've been working on a nice 3D printed case, extended wires, and other things. It sits on my upper arm well out of sight.
so I can add sounds to the MP3 board for tuscan and then put a micro SD card in and it will play the jawa sounds not the ones on the board correct
I have not tried the micro SD card, I don't have one to test. I would guess that if you have a micro SD card, that will take priority over the onboard flash memory. I am afraid that I cannot give you a firm answer on that. Perhaps you can reach out to electronics123.com and ask, they have great customer service.
HappyTrooper thaks your builds are inspiring to a novice builder like myself
Yes, the SD card sound files will be placed, instead of the on board memory.
This way, you can multi-purpose your sound board and just swap SD cards for different sounds, instead of having to reprogram every time.
IS exctly this systeme i want for my costume WOOKIE!.....amazing work happy trooper
Would it work same wiring-wise with the 123electronics 6 button MP3 player?
How do you twist two wires together?
im a bit late with this but i wanna cosplay a Jawa but how do you get the audio files?
I am struggling to find these switches here in the UK. Anyone know a supplier?
YOU are great
this is exactly what i needed. thanks my dude, i had a predator in mind but i realised darth vader is perfect for this too
The makers of the software for the premade glove have a driver on their site to make the pm66 program work with Windows 10. You can also use the compatability tools in Windows 10 to make it run, but obviously downloading the updated driver is easier.
pm60.com/pm66_en/index.htm
do these soundboars playon a loop if you wanted? i mean like if i were to use for a lightsaber can i make it so the sound of the saber doesnt stop humming?
Hello, it is my understanding that these boards only take 4 sounds, and must be triggered by the button. I don't think you can loop any sounds with this particular board. Perhaps the team at electronics123.com could better answer the question. Send them an email and see what they say. They may have a product that better suits your needs.
thank you
I built one of these a few months ago for my steampunk costume, though I still can't figure out what sounds to put on it lol
Is that the same thing as an Arduino?
When I use the headphone jack connection the audio quality is bad and has a lot of static, any idea why?
Thank you so much! I am probably not aloud yet to do things with electronics cuz age😹 I was thinking of cosplaying fi from Zelda
SSo genius!
