Depth control in LoveMachine 2.7 (Patreon)
Content
Hello everynyan, here's what I've been up to lately:
- I designed a depth sensing onahole,
- I integrated that onahole, and another similar device, into LoveMachine.
The devices in question are:
- The Hotdog, my DIY depth sensing toy (the first toy shown in the video),
- The Calor, a new commercial toy by Lovense (the second toy shown in the video).
As to what depth sensing is, I think the following video is self-explanatory:

If the Handy is an output device, then we could call the Hotdog an input device. Like a speaker and a microphone.
PLEASE NOTE - This an experimental feature, for the following reasons:
- This is all really new tech, the Calor came out exactly a month ago.
- For now, I've only added depth control support to Koikatsu Sunshine. I'll do the other games later.
- The depth output of the Calor seems to be laggy as hell, and I can't tell whether it's because of the hardware itself or the makeshift Bluetooth comm layer I wrote.
- B*ttplug doesn't support depth data yet, so we're REALLY ahead of the curve here.
- Even in Sunshine, depth control is turned off by default because it can mess with other Bluetooth/UART peripherals. To turn it on, please go to Plugin Settings > LoveMachine > Experimental Settings, enable the setting for your device, and restart the game.
If, in spite of the previously mentioned issues, you'd like to buy a Calor, you can get one here. I should also mention that the Calor has a vibrator too, and you can connect it to Intiface to use it as such (though you can't use it as a vibrator and depth controller at the same time, at least not yet).
The 3D print files, circuit diagram and firmware for the Hotdog are all available here. I'm going to make a guide that explains how to put it together next week.

LoveMachine 2.7 Installer (yes, we have an installer now, I hope you'll like it)
The ZIP files are still available on the release page, and always will be in case you'd prefer to install it the oldschool way.
