First off. Panders has restored the GoThongs levels! All of GoThongs should be playable once more, but we need bug reports. Go out and play and then report bugs you encounter on the GoThongs GitHub!

VibHub

We have come to a point where we've been able to order some hardware. Kadah has ordered PCBs and parts for an initial small scale test, these parts should arrive early next week. Big shoutout to patreons helping us fund the hardware! Once these are working I'm hoping we could get some test kits out to interested patrons. I could add a new patreon tier when we get that far, and people who are pledging that tier could be eligible for the test kit. Keep in mind the first test kit would be a board without a case, and be more suitable for those technically adept enough to upload software onto it and provide feedback.

What you see in the video of this post is a prototype I soldered together in a cheap prototype case. This is not what the final unit will look like, just an experiment that's mostly held together by glue. However, I don't expect the final product to be a lot larger than this. Features of said experiment:

  • Portable, no wires attached to any walls! 
  • Power is supplied via a standard 8000mAh phone powerbank. This gives around 11h of playtime at full power of a single USB toy.
  • 2 USB ports for toys which can be controlled individually (final product will likely have 4).

VibHub Portable Prototype in GLORIOUS 4k

This prototype was a quick bodge held together mostly by glue to test the portable capabilities of VibHub. The VibHub unit is the blue box with the LED, powered by an 8000mAh cellphone charger, meaning it could run at maximum intensity for 11h in a best case scenario, or around 40h of standby (though this could be improved). The vibrator is just a cheap USB one. VibHub is a crowd-funded open source project allowing you to remote control USB devices via PWM wirelessly. Open source and with non-restrictive licensing so ANYONE can easily write applications that interface with it without having to pay any license fees.
