Built With

• Teensyduino
• PlatformIO

(back to top)

Getting Started

Download the code from the GitHub website or clone repo using your favorite git-client software or with the following command:

git clone https://github.com/sensint/Servo_Haptics.git

Firmware

We provide the firmware for two build systems - Teensyduino (based on Arduino IDE) and PlatformIO.

The firmware was tested with the following microcontrollers:

• Teensy 3.5
• Teensy 4.1

Teensyduino

The easiest way to get up and running with the firmware is Teensyduino.

Prerequisites

Download and install the Teensyduino software for your operating system. All needed libraries are included in the basic installation.

Build and Upload

1. Open the HapticServo.ino
   1. navigate in your file manager (Win: Explorer, macOS: Finder) to the repository's folder firmware/Teensyduino/MotionCoupledVibrations and then double-click the ino file
   2. use the Teensyduino menu (File -> Open) or the keyboard shortcut (Win: Ctrl+O, macOS: Cmd+O) and navigate to the repository's folder firmware/Teensyduino/MotionCoupledVibrations and then select the ino file
2. connect the Teensy with your computer via USB
3. configure the Teensyduino
   1. select the correct board (Teensy version) from Tools -> Board -> Teensydunio
   2. select the correct serial port from Tools -> Port
4. click the upload button (arrow) in the Teensyduino IDE

Control

The Haptic Servo is designed to be compatible with servo hardware and software. Using servo-commands you can fine-tune the tactile experience. You can find an example of how to do this in 'ServoControl.ino'

PlatformIO
