Some of these small class D amps have Bluetooth built-in, but I can't say if those amps are any good when used for stimming, which is outside of what they were designed for.InfamousPlantain wrote: Mon Oct 04, 2021 1:25 pm nice. I'm here just thinking of adding a bluetooth module to mine after I saw @puste's setup. But of course, I'd end up with yet another box, since they're all external.
what do you mean with "a diffrent power supply"? you need 12V DC power supply!!Storm123 wrote: Sun Nov 07, 2021 2:50 am so I built this as listed in the first post (top image, different power supply (tried a couple just in case)) but it would seem I have run into a slight problem. According to a few there should be plenty of power from this setup but when I try it I can easily max out the Amp and the amps input volumes with little issue. would anyone happen to have any ideas why I'm getting so little power from the unit?
How many fixing posts are there on the back of your switches? Any chance of a quick diagram showing how they're wired? Thanks.InfamousPlantain wrote: Thu Sep 30, 2021 2:39 pmSo, after rereading this and the other thread many times, I finally built the variation @JakofClubs posted above (thanks!) ... almost exactly like it...JakofClubs wrote: Wed Jan 20, 2021 4:46 pm
I liked it so much a did a cleaner, minimal design with the recommended amp from SmartStim.com

As a first time stimmer, geez, this thing was strong! I feel like I couldn't turn the nobsound amp's volume past 20%! Did I wire something off or is that somewhat expected? I mean, the wiring looks so simple in this setup, which was one of the reasons why I gravitated towards it.

On closer inspection, I do realize that I am using the originally recommended 10w resistors from the original build and not the 25w ones used in @JakofClubs' build, but would that cause that?
@lolol2, I did read about you mentioning the difference in volume required for anal trodes vs ones attached outside and I thought I encountered this issue. Made the mistake of calibrating on the anal one and got a pretty literal shocking experience on the glans oneRecalibrated for glans, and no longer felt the anal one, unless I somehow got the anal one disconnected. This time around, I used all rubber loops. Would that contribute to the problem? @JakofClubs, do you notice this problem on your build with the nobsound amp?
Other n00b mistakes included not realizing that the drilled project box holes actually were conductive so I had to insulate all my banana plug jacks, realizing that I should probably insulate the banana plugs that attach to the electrodes, making a whole mess between lubes and electrogels, still trying to find that perfect sweet spot. I think I hit it sometimes, but lose it just as easy. That volume control is just too sensitive.
But at the end of everything, I did get a good release -- just not properly through the intention of the tease (@lolol2's legendary estim tower). Well, already planning "fixes" and thanks to @cl13a, @hosenguy, @JakofClubs, and everyone here for their shares!
They are Double Pole Single Throw (DPST) switches with 4 posts each. For the power switch, each pole cuts one channel's black wire just so I didn't need 2 separate Single Pole (SPST) switches. If you want to cut power separately, you will need to separate out the switches. OR if you don't care about cutting power, you don't need them at all. It's not part of the original design. For the tri-phase switch, only one pole is used. Could've went with a SPST but eh, just hitting qty2 was easier on ordering and probably more uniform on the look.phoopha wrote: Mon Nov 08, 2021 4:10 pm

The idea and diagrams are based on the three former posts in this thread by CaliPhotoDude and Hosenguy

I won't claim to "know" this one, but I went by what hosenguy said in the other postphoopha wrote: Mon Nov 08, 2021 11:35 pm

The ones I got were standard 120V ones. I can't imagine much lower ones not working based on such low amperage that we're passing through on the output side."In both uses the switches require less than an amp by a bunch. So if it handles around 150 Volts, or more, it likely will work."
Thanks. I'll get some ordered. Quite like the idea of one of those with the cover, like on the trigger of a fighter plane.InfamousPlantain wrote: Tue Nov 09, 2021 8:06 amI won't claim to "know" this one, but I went by what hosenguy said in the other postphoopha wrote: Mon Nov 08, 2021 11:35 pm

Is this unit designed to deliver either triphase or a single channel stim? I note that there only seem to be three output sockets.JakofClubs wrote: Sun Oct 03, 2021 3:55 pm I made a version of this stim box with the Doku/NobSound/Breeze Audio amp built inside, with the dummy load resistors and transformers.

Here's some pictures of the internal wiring. It will run for hours at 1/4 to 1/3 volume and not get warm.

I'm pretty sure the pictures are showing one port being a stereo input(line in) and the other two are left and right channel. Tri-phase involves connecting two leads together as a common lead to an electrode with the other two going to two other electrodes.phoopha wrote: Tue Nov 09, 2021 1:37 pmIs this unit designed to deliver either triphase or a single channel stim?
