HAPTIC MOTOR DRIVER

Group: Anita Mbabazi, Dan Owen, Alexandra Lopez

Assignment: This experiment introduces a new part – the haptic motor driver. This board and the associated library provide over 100 effects for the vibrating motor allowing for more sophisticated behavior with less programming. Download the Arduino library and try the “Basic” example.

1- Open the Serial Monitor so that you can read the numbers of the effects as you feel them. Write down the numbers of the ones that interest you.

2- Try the “Complex” example. Once you’ve got it working, try replacing the effects sequence with your own to achieve your own signature sensation. Consult page 55 of the datasheet for a complete list of all the possible effects.

3- Using the haptic driver board and a sensor of your choosing, write a program that provides a haptic representation of how your day went yesterday.
