I'm indeed testing and playing around with some parameters, including reduction of the medication.
So it's a little hard to judge.
But I feel I am not yet at the point that I can crow victory.
We need to further improve the device and optimise the parameters.
We want to measure and calibrate our actuators : the protrusion of the skin contactor in rest and unloaded, the Peak to Peak simulation amplitude, both unloaded and loaded by the skin indention.
We have therefore bought (and just received) a laser displacement sensor Panasonic HL-G103-S-J with resolution : 0.5 μm ~ 0.0005 mm | Sampling rate : 5 kHz) :

We are also awaiting to receive the Google Open Source Vibrotactile Haptics Platform :

So we can implement current control, which gives an individual force control over the actuators. It will help us to secure proper skin contact and control proper skin indention (not too much and not too little).
So we keep pushing.
