Vibrator Belt. Copyright 2016, Thomas TEMPE The purpose of this project is to build a (physical) vibrating belt as a tool for sensory augmentation. The belt is fitted with coin vibrators along its length. The one that points north vibrates at all time. Use it continuously for 6 weeks, and you will grow a sense of direction. Take it off, and you will experience amputation. For more background (and an award-winning product that you can actually buy), see http://www.feelspace.de/navibelt/ Directory contents: Leather belt/ DXF files for manufacturing the flexible part of the belt (fabric, foam, steel band...) Can be edited with LibreCAD. Belt buckle/ Fusion360 model of the buckle (for aluminium machining or 3D printing) Vibrator_Leather_Belt/ Kicad files for making the flexible electronic circuit (along the length of the belt) Vibrator_Leather_Belt_Control_Box/ Kicd files for making the PCB circuit that fits in the buckle. Photos/ Photos of prototypes. Code/ Arduino code for the microcontroller. Arduino/ Arduino hardware support for the microcontroller. The control board uses an ATMega32u4 at 8MHz. To get it running: * Install the Arduino IDE from Arduino.cc. Run it once, then quit it. * Copy Arduino/*/ into your Documents/Arduino directory * solder an 8MHz external oscillator on the back of the control board * Start the Arduino IDE. Select Tools->Board: -> Atmega32u4 on a breadboard (8MHz internal clock) * Connect the ISP connector to an ISP programmer. Select the proper port in Tools->Port * Click Tools->burn bootloader * remove the external oscillator * Tools->Board:->LilyPad Arduino USB * File->Examples->01. Basics->Blink * Click « Upload » on the icon bar. The « Signal » LED should blink with 0.5Hz frequency. * open code/Compass_band5_leather/compass_band5_leather.ino in Arduino * Click the « upload » icon on the icon bar. control code should be uploading.
