Bo Morgan<p>Just ordered some parts to prototype a piezoelectric an experimental tactile interface for "feeling" visual textures.</p><p>I ordered a piezoelectric actuator, some through hole op-amps to drive it, a breadboard, some prototyping wire, some 1/8" prototyping jacks, an assortment of through hole resistors, and a big box of small plastic drawers to organize my parts.</p><p>I'm gonna drive the piezoelectric actuator by driving the op-amp with the audio out from my sound card on my PC. I'm planning to prototype a tiny MCU and tiny camera separately.</p><p>I'm so excited for this project.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/freehardware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>freehardware</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fosh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fosh</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ee</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/prototyping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>prototyping</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/sensors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sensors</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/actuators" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>actuators</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/mcu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mcu</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/opamp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>opamp</span></a></p>
