GearliciousSlowly coming back to a few #KinkEngineering projects, one of which is the #SeriousKit automation controller. Still need to get back into KiCad and make a nice board, but this thing would run a few independent channels that can be fully controlled with rate or cadence. The module also supports RS485 for remote sync with e-stim boxes (like suction on nipples, then shock). If anyone knows cheap 3U rack machining, DM me (not Protocase).
π₯π’ππ³πΆπ―π²πππ’π― π°π©ππ³π’@gearlicious amazing! Any chance youβll open-source your work? π
@heavyrubberslave that's the plan :P
@gearlicious great! Not owning a SeriousKit yet though. π
@heavyrubberslave I'm also looking to rebuild and open source the poppers machine I've built a while back. Currently it's running on a ESP32 (WROOM) board, but I'm eyeing porting it over to Raspberry Pi Pico W (C/C++)
@gearlicious personally Iβm not into poppers. But Iβm sure this is another amazing device many can profit from if open sourced. π
Xantw0 ββ@gearlicious How did I only stumble upon this now π€―
Really curious about how it works, if it's supposed to be part of a more complicated pipe system or can work (safely) on its own π€
@Xantw0 it's just clamped onto a 2" truss. It has a small 12V air pump and two solenoid valves (McMaster) which isolate the stainless steel bottle entirely. The valves open then the air pump forces air through the bottle to dose. Dosage can be adjusted in duration, interval, and count. I don't have exact data unfortunately but the volume of air is smaller per second than the popular hand pumps so the dosage can be really fine tuned.
@Xantw0 it's currently run by ESP32, but ideally looking to start over with the Pi Pico. Control would be RS232 or 485 bus with a modbus like protocol to control is remotely along with other devices. This part is on hiatus so only the basic dosage timing works for now.
@gearlicious Ah, but how do you plug it into an air line? A simple "T" connector with one end to a user, the other to the air?
@Xantw0 yes, pretty much just that. I have a T fitting that has male/female gas mask thread and the perpendicular end of the T is fed by the small hose of the machine. The air intake for the pump is just open inside the machine.
