We'd like to get some VibHub dev kits out!
Added 2018-06-20 12:33:14 +0000 UTC
The ESP version of VibHub is now fully functioning, and Kadah is now soldering together some PCB dev kits. Because these were funded by patrons, we'd love to get a handful of these kits out to patrons who are interested in working with the hardware, and/or writing apps for it.
At the moment we only have a handful of these prototypes, so for this first test run we're looking for testers who:
- Have setup, or are willing to learn and setup the Arduino IDE and acquire a console and/or FTDI cable to update the software as we fix bugs and add new features.
- Have or are willing to acquire at least one USB or phono powered sex toy.
- (Optionally, but preferred) Know a scripting language with the ability to send HTTP requests and/or connect to websockets. Such as javascript, PHP, LSL, python, C/C++. Even shell scripts.
- Are willing to supply feedback on a regular basis.
- Own a USB power supply rated at 2A+, but these are very common.
- Have joined or are willing to join us in the JasX discord.
If you want to take part in our initial dev run, send an email to jasxsecondlife@gmail.com and include the following:
- Headline should read "VibHub Devkit Request"
- Name and address you'd like the devkit shipped if picked.
- Your patreon account name.
- Do you have any prior experience with Arduino? If not, are you willing to look it up?
- Do you own a console cable, FTDI cable, or similar? If not, are you willing to get one?
- Do you own a micro USB power supply (these are commonly used by phones) that can output at least 2 Amperes (2000mA)? If not, are you willing to get one?
- Do you own any USB and/or phono powered sex toys? If not, are you willing to get one?
- What scripting/programming languages do you know (if any)?
- Are you on the JasX discord?
- Do you have a GitHub account, or are you familiar with git?
- Do you have any experience with soldering?
Keep in mind the initial test run will be very limited in quantity (as Kadah has to solder these first prototypes together himself). Charges for shipping may apply, but the board itself will be provided free of charge in exchange for providing feedback.
