Subject: hires initialization
Well, if anyone is interested, the 7 bytes sent to init the glove seem
to be: 0x06, 0xC1, 0x08, 0x00, 0x02, 0xFF, 0x01
 
It is hard to believe this is a whole program...  Well, back to playing with
the glove...  
 
Oh, also, here's a list of all the finger positions that seem meaningful...
First, only look at the high bit for each finger to get rid of noise, then
look up in this chart:
 
0  open hand
1  double gun
2  middle finger bent
3  gun
4  fore finger bent
5  ??
6  ??
7  thumb up (or down depending on rotation)
8  thumb bent
9  double point (or peace sign)
10 ??
11 point
12 O.K. sign
13 extended middle finger
14 extended ring finger (painful)
15 fist
 
Most of these are easily distinguished, so we have about 12 possible
finger positions, and if you include orientation and possibly movement,
that adds up to a lot of gestures.
