Project GAUNTL33T Haptic Feedback Glove Help Wanted!

I have been working on a similar project. It is in it's very early stages still but a prototype is being made slowly! I also am using an Arduino and have been trialing various kinds of control (actuators and some others). A few things I am doing differently though and I'm glad to see there are people coming up with cool ideas about Haptic VR! When my prototype is nearing completion I will create a build log on here most likely. I would love to come check this out and get a bit more involved with the community but am based in New Zealand unfortunately. :cry:

Awesome wish you the best on your project :)! Always good to have many people working on a common goal. If you want to attend one of our future meetings virtually that would be awesome. :)

Awesome! I've also been playing around with this style of haptic glove. Loving the motorized linear pots; I had no idea that those existed. That solves a lot of problems with the design in my head.

Would you mind if I joined your Facebook group? I'm mostly a mechanical/textile guy, which it looks like you could use! ;)

Of course you may join the facebook group :D. Also, feel free to attend the meeting this Saturday either in person or virtually.

Great! Sent a request to join.

I'm over on the west coast, so I don't think I'll be able to attend in person! I'd love to virtually drop in, though. What time are you thinking?

Probably around 1pm CST. I will put it on fb group tonight.

Missed the hangout, unfortunately. Other things took priority.

The linear pots you got? It was linked on the Facebook page. I don't want to start CADing off the wrong parts...

Yes those are the correct ones. We are having another hangout next Saturday. Is that a good night? Could also have one Wednesday if that is better. Ps: here is vid on revvr live podcast for more footage of it running. Wasn't set up ideally but still more footage the better if you want to cad something.

Saturdays are usually good for me, it's just that a checkpoint for my senior project is due tomorrow, so it's the dreaded last minute "iron out all the bugs, get everything ready" that always happens. Next week should be fine...
