Arduino controlled flashtease
Posted: Thu Jan 03, 2013 6:32 pm
Ok, let me know if this is in the wrong subforum...
I've created a small service to control a vibrator over internet. This makes it possible to drag on a slider and control one or two vibrators/bullets/whatever.
My idea is to integrate this with flashtease if possible. It could work like this:
1. The flashtease communicates with the service to get a "hash". For the service to know what ip it should go against.
2. Flashtease start to talk with the service. Turn up/down your bullet/vibrator
The flashtease would basically do calls like http://service.tld?speed=100&hash=yourid or http://service.tld?speed=0&hash=yourid. I don't know who made the flashtease app but it shouldn't be hard to implement.
What I've created:
1. I've taken a simple Arduino (http://www.arduino.cc/) and a motor shield (http://arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoMotorShieldR3). This is driven with a 9V battery (could be up to 12V as well via either power cable or battery). The motor out is connected to my bullet instead of batteries. By doing this I get a bullet that can get anything from 0 to 12V and will of course have a speed based on this.
2. I've written a small Arduino app to controll the power output via serial port.
3. I've written a small web-script to talk to the Arduino over serial port.
All in all what you'd need to create this is:
* Arduino + motor shield ($50)
* some wire ($1).
* A vibrator of some sort that can be connected to the setup.
* You'd also need ruby on your computer (there's installs for all OS).
Is this something that anyone would be interested in? The chat have showen interest but I haven't really told them what's needed for it to work.
The people creating flashtease doesn't happen to be on the forum? And could say if my idea is doable on their side?
