Balls! I got the glove working great with all 101 keys, then after several
minutes the glove stopped working.  I unplugged it and then plugged it
back in and the lights flashed and it worked for a few more minutes, then
it stopped for good.  Far as I can tell the encoder chip got screwed up
somehow.  I'm guessing either the sweat from my hand shorted several
contacts together and that screwed something up, or I brought the wrong
combination of contacts together and that shorted something out. Don't
know if this is going to work at this point.  I'm going to get another $15
keyboard and see if I can get it to last more than 10 minutes, maybe put a
liner in the glove to prevent any shorting through my hand.

Anyone have any ideas about what I might have done wrong with this setup?
