Except I appear to have built this thread upside down. "Oh bother" said Winnie the Poo
Admin - can you mend it?

A 3d printed box and lid hold the exciter fixed on the fingertip securely whilst providing some isolation for the rest of the finger. The 3d printed lid is shaped to hold the finger in place, and facilitate the 0.5mm skin indentation at rest. A 3d printed washer with a centre thread, and 3d printed ...

The exciter allows a slim finger profile, and provides an ample "piston" like action perpendicular to the skin. It's probably a bit more compliant than the EA C2 or Stanford custom LRA's and so probably needs to be run a "bit louder" - but it provides the correct localised, squas...

This allows the box holding the audio exciter to be removed easily. The exciter is a tight fit in the box, and a bit fiddly and delicate for soldering the connections, so it needs to be removeable. The 8mm diameter screw head (again - same size as Tass) allows the height of the contact to be set - a...

The glove, made by my wife, is a Decathlon cycle glove with the fingers cut off, and an additional wrist band sewn to the wrist, which holds the solderless junction block . Cables to the exciters run through cloth sleeves attached to the fingerless glove, and these connect to a band which wraps roun...

Gosh. I appear to have worked out how to add images. Bit big, but they're there So this is the finished build - Mk4 in the end, and I think the final take. It may look a sprawling mess, but that kit fits in the Ryanair cabin bag which can be worn over the shoulder, and I can take a walk in the mount...

I am using audio exciters - Dayton DAEX13CT-8. The problem is they are quite large, so I may continue to explore possibilities with something smaller. I have an enclosure outer width of 32mm which is pretty close (or beyond) the maximum practical for a glove,, especially with my small hands. Actuall...

There appears to be a lot of noise about this subject but it is quite hard to coordinate conclusions. I have one glove working. Not very elegant, but operational. Should get the left hand done this weekend..hopefully less scruffily. Then maybe do tidier right glove. Then evaluate before making a por...

I just found this, having concluded exciters may be the best way forward. What are you using to write the FLAC files?

I am not clear how many realised DIY projects there are at this stage. The components of my project are starting to come in, and I am looking at the practicalities for a genuinely usable device , once the prototyping issues are addressed. The pdbuzzboard project doesnt look like something I could se...
