November: Introducing the T-Vibe, and SR6 Beta News

This month I have something of a freebie on offer. As many of us have moved away from using the Romeo BLE mini to the ESP32 I was wondering if there might be another application for those discarded boards. At the same time I became aware that the erotic hypnosis community, in particular an artist called Shibby, are starting to make audio files with scripted "haptics". I guess a bit of positive reinforcement goes a long way in hypnosis.

Anyway, the T-Code tech that we have in this little community is a perfect match. T-Code players like Khrull's XTP and Yoooi's MFP work just as great with hypnosis audios as they do with video content. I felt like the obvious thing was to make a little box to put the Romeo in, and create some build instructions. Thus the T-Vibe was born! Now anybody who wants to can put together a script controlled vibrator of their choice. It's much cheaper than a $100 luxury bluetooth vibrator too.

You can find the T-Vibe STLs, Arduino code and build instructions attached to this post.

Also attached is the latest update to the OSR2 firmware - Release 3.3. This is a minor upgrade to the vibrator control code that pulses the power to get the motor moving if the power setting is low. Hypnotists like the subtle power settings it seems! I discovered an issue with the motors sticking with the old control code when I was testing the T-Vibe, and this change seems to do the trick.
The T-Vibe box holds the Romeo BLE and has cable anchor points.

Finally some more news on the SR6 Beta. Last month I released the new SR6 Beta enclosure, which has been very popular with my patrons. I had planned to release the full build plans for SR6 this month, however I am now planning to slip that back to December. Instead I have something else for the $8 tier this month, I have been experimenting with a significant upgrade to the SR6 linkages and it's looking very promising. I think that I would like to get that released first, so that I can then incorporate it into the official design. $2 subscribers will of course get the first look at this too. Hopefully I can do a video this time!

Happy building!
