Re: Arduino Vibrator

I should also add that I've become interested in creating a self-bondage release mechanism that involves an Arduino. It would replicate the function of the CD tray release method, however because it's an Arduino it can be taken and placed almost anywhere. I'm thinking of using either a servo or a so...

Re: Arduino Vibrator

Thanks, GV for pointing that post out to me. After a little while looking through what you had produced I came across the Instructables article on controlling motors with an Arduino. The circuit diagram depicts what I've created almost exactly, the only difference being that they use a TIP120 and my...

Re: Arduino Vibrator

Over the past few days in my quest to learn more about electronics, I've been experimenting with TIP122 transistors so I can power my device off an external power source that is capable of generating adequate current flow for the vibrator - these experiments have proven to be worthwhile. I'm sure th...

Re: Arduino Vibrator

Strange, I was just looking at motor shields a few moments before reading your comment, Cooper. I think that a motor shield will be my next Arduino investment - I'll probably get a bit more kick out of the motor that way as well. Currently with the motor that I'm using, an xbox rumble vibrator, it's...

Re: Arduino Vibrator

Yes, you're probably right about the USB amperage. I apologise, I was only running off information that I had briefly read when looking up specs on USB. It's great that there are other people here who have an understanding on this subject. The Arduino can be run off USB or an external DC power sourc...

Arduino Vibrator

For those who are interested in or have an Arduino, I've been developing the software for a vibrator that has basically every single mode or setting I think you could want. The software is in it's final stages, although I am happy to take suggestions from the community, as well as give instructions ...
