1Step 1
Procedure for Vest
Purchase a Neoprene Vest.
Put neoprene squares on 1" pieces of foam.
Mount vibration motors on Neoprene platforms.
Mount neoprene platforms onto the vest to be 2" apart in a grid pattern so that the vibrations can be recognized one from another.
Solder the ends of the wires from the motors to the ribbon cable at the back of the vest. (I used 30 gauge wire. DON'T use 30 gauge, use a lower gauge but not too low. I used a high gauge to prevent vibrations from spreading and it worked.)
Insulate the connections.
Attach double fold bias tape to the vest with fabric glue to cover the wires.
Connect all ground wires to a long ground wire.
Procedure for Electronics Box
To control 48 motors at once (THIS IS AWESOME) follow the diagram.
This uses 2 Adafruit LED Drivers, 48 PNP Transistors (that can handle at least 60 milliamps, mine could handle 800 milliamps), a box, 1 Parallax Propeller, and D Cell Batteries (they can have about 12 amp hours of electricity).
