Watching all of my speaking gigs disappear.

Travel (Or Not)

So ignore all of those "come see me at OOOHack/GDC!" posts I was making. I ended up having to cancel on OOOHack in Chicago last weekend due to life just kinda sucking right now, and GDC has been cancelled. I'll be submitting a filmed version of my talk to GDC, so it'll be up on GDC Vault, and I'll probably post it to YouTube (and therefore you'll see it here first!).

Buttplug

With all of that out of the way, I've had some time to get back to working on Buttplug. The goal is still to get buttplug-rs to a point of replacing intiface-cli-csharp/intiface-cli-node in Intiface Desktop, and that's going pretty well. Been doing a lot of work to bring up testing interfaces, so we can know that we're maybe actually doing the right thing some of the time. Also starting to work on backward compatibility, one of the most important parts of the system, since we want to keep applications that use Buttplug working until the End Of Time (Or Until I Get Sick Of Supporting Them).

Everything Else

I ordered a 3D printer (A Prusa i3 MK3)! I've had enough people coming to me with neat 3D printed projects (some for integration with Buttplug) and I've felt bad about having to constantly ask people to print stuff for me.

I'll be printing more nogasm parts, there's a ESP32 vibrator someone has been working on that I wanna try making, and also planning on building an OSR2+ (https://patreon.com/tempestvr).

If there's any projects you'd like to see build on my YouTube channel, lemme know.

That's it for now. Hoping that things will stay calm and I can ramp back up on work (and therefore have more newsletter content)!

Until next week, Keep Buttpluggin'!

Osr nice. Novint Falcon?

qdot

Falcon is gonna take a bit, because it requires WAY more programming than the hardware I normally support in the library. I definitely do still have it in the plans, but I also still need to reverse engineer the original kinematics algorithm for it and all.

Excellent choice! Expensive, but if you value your time it's well worth not having to bugger around with tweaking settings and upgrading the machine or making it safe... I've just finished building the OSR2, super easy to put together.

qdot

Yup that was the idea. The last thing I want to do is fucking with fixing things if I don’t absolutely have to.

This is so cool i am willing to invest

What exactly is the purpose of migrating from c# to rust?

qdot

More platform support, easier to bind across multiple languages, no run time to haul along. We’ll still have a c# client library and hopefully it’ll look exactly like it does now. It’ll just be calling into rust code.
