Open source drivers for toys and Arduino vibrator shield

Post by qDot »

Hi! I'm qDot, I run the Slashdong website on sex and technology at http://www.slashdong.org. I found this site through my referers, had never seen such a large forum about sex software development. This is awesome. :D

I do work in the creation and critique of new user interfaces for sex software. Oh, and I also reverse engineer sex toys.

My github account is http://www.github.com/qdot/ - There you'll find open source, cross platform drivers to the Rez Trancevibe, RealTouch, VStroker, and whatever other toys I can get my hands on. I also work on quite a few pieces of consumer biometrics equipment that may be of interest to this forum.

If you've got any hardware that you'd be interested in using in your own software but need drivers for, please let me know, I'm always happy to help, though time has been a little short lately.

Also, I saw there were a few references to Arduino based projects here. I was part of a team that created an arduino shield for vibrator control last year. It's super simple, but if all you're looking for is a way to experiment with vibrator speed control, it'll do the job. There's more info on that at http://shop.trinculosattic.com/products/pen15-shield, and the source code plus circuit layouts for the board are at http://www.github.com/qdot/pen15-board

Looking forward to posting here more!

qDot,

I'm pleased to see you on here now. What surprises me is that I recall you pointing me to this very site as an alternative, when you stopped the forum functionality on slashdong. If memory serves, you also mentioned the hardware/teledildonics forum of milovana.com, http://www.milovana.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=12

tantalism.org is sometimes interesting, but not much about developing "smart" toys.
As you probably know, there are several relevant forums on fetlife as well:
Electronic Gadget Makers
Fucking machines and high-tech sex
The Remote-Control Devices Group

When my budget isn't quite so lean, I hope to take your python code for the (recently unlocked) realTouch for a spin.
