Question Help with rigging up a Haptic Vibration Motor ?

[Mike396]

Hi All,

I'm new to these forums, looks like a great wealth of info here!

I'm looking for some help on installing one of these vibration units onto a tens pad. What else would I require to run it and would it be possible to make a simple application to run it via bluetooth to control vibration speeds, intensities etc? I'm Essentially looking to use as little surface area as possible. I've attached a link below of the unit i'm talking about.

Any Help is much appreciated! Apologies if this isn't the right forum but I figured motherboards would be appropriate.

Thanks,

Mike

Based on the listing, it operates either with 3.3V or 5V. 5V would be better since vibrations would be more intensive.

And it is controlled by the PWM signal (2nd pin). 3rd pin is ground (also listed on the unit itself). So, all you need, is software that can control and send PWM signals, for the pattern of the vibration.

Now, i can't tell if PWM signal can be used for intensity as well or not. Could be that for intensity (strength), it also needs voltage regulator between 3.3V and 5V.
