DIY Haptic vest

A haptic vest like bhaptics

A haptic vest like bhaptics, the firmware is not assotiated with me, only the hardware is. I will make instructions and better documentation if people will be interested.

The main PCB consists of:

A ESP32 Devboard

  • Is responsible communication to your router, and everything else.

A TP4057 board

  • Charges and manages the battery.

A ULN2803

  • drives the motors (uses a darlington array)

The sub board is for each side of the vest, consisting of:

2x ULN2803

  • drives the motors (uses a darlington array)

PCA9685

  • 16-channel PWM controller using I2C, used to extent GPIO to the 40 needed.
