HapticShoe

Haptic Shoe Controller Software

How to install

Download VSCode
Install the PlattformIO extension (with the build-in extension manager of VSCode)
Clone this repository
Open it with VSCode
Open the PlattformIO tab in VSCode and add it as PlattformIO project

Needed libraries

Right now the only one you need to install is "RunningMedian". You can use the build-in library manager of PlattformIO

How to use it

Connect the Shoe to your PC and open up a serial terminal (baudrate should be 115200) (I'm using the one that's included inside the Arduino IDE)

Commands

All commands have to end with /n (though you don't have to add it manually since most terminals automatically add it at the end of the line)

Here is a list of the currently available commands:

0,granularity,frequency(in Hz),amplitude(0-127),duration(milliseconds) : basic mode e.g.: 0,4,200,80,100
1,0 : Calibrate max weight
2,0 : Calibrate min weight
3,0 : Output sensor values
4,0 : Stop outputting sensor values
5,frequency(in Hz),amplitude(0-127),duration(milliseconds) : just play a tone e.g.: 0,200,80,100

Note

If you intend to use the Shoes for a longer time I recommend you to set the volume to something lower then 100 (they do get quite hot if you use it at full volume)
