The beginning of soldering

SBW PCB

As part of February milestone's for this project, I've recently begun assembling some of the amazing equipments that have arrived to our lab. More specifically, the symbioware printed-circuit board designed by Sam (printed by Liam) #thanks. The soldering requirements were defnitely a challenge, but I'm happy with the final results

the setup

With some creativity I believe that it will be possible to feather-wing it with incredible aditional features. But right now it's code time. And wow I was surprised by the codebase there. The BiodataFeather is a best, Sam. Congrats and thank you!

Nicla Sense

I've also begun playing with the recently arrived (after a higly energy consuming process with delivery) Nicla Sense ME board. Which has some neat and powerful sensors from bosh sensortec.

It definitely represents a new paradigm in terms of development for me. But one I'm very excited about, for its incredible potential! Thanks to a great tutorial, I've been able to quickly get a hands on the basic functioning of this devide. And it surprises off the shelf for that. Real time motion and atmospheric readings (with possible patter recognition - to be explored) from more than 10 sensors. I' m excited about it.


Combining it with the feather esp32s3 (which runs the sbw pcb) will allow some amazing experimentations with wireless data transmisstion from beings and environment. That can the easily be picked up by a haptic driver with the same wireless capabilites (as the super expected VHP).

So...

There's an exciting journey ahead, which I hope to be able to actively journal inference about here! Thanks to every being involved in this endeavour!

About This Project

This project seeks to experiment with haptic sensory substitution ("a way to bypass one traditional sensory organ by using another"), as a mean to augment human perception in relation to other living beings and the environment. That is, couple the human central nervous system (through the feeling of touch) to the state/activity of other forms of life, so as to empirically explore the qualia, cultural, and ecological implications of such entanglements.

Blast off!
