Rydia, Rydia

Thanks for the complement Rydia. So to Address both of you first Bluetooth is not something I’ve tested but assume it would be about the same as the IR. The Bluetooth I would do with a Bluetooth controller(handset,remote) not the phone. Sorry but with the phone then your talking about having to make an app along with everything else which is really not something I’m all that interested in doing. I know I have a Bluetooth controller for a VR headset I have. I would just connect the Bluetooth receiver to the micro controller, find out what the controllers buttons are doing an assign those inputs to what i wanted the motor to do when i press them. Also your leaving out one of the controllers. The longer or shorter stroke controller will not be being effected. I know at one time I had just wrapped a rubber band around the green button and didn’t interact with that controller much but without the wireless part taking those options into consideration your losing half the functionality of the V2000. I really don’t think ABCO would be that interested in an additional control that didn’t actually make the V2000 wireless without reducing its functionality.

But even so continuing forward the power button in the controller is a full 120 volt. 120 volts is a little more difficult to deal with but do able. So you would take the same type of connection they have an make a cable that comes off into a new box. This box would have a 120v relay, a power converter to run the micro controller, the Bluetooth sensor, the micro controller. The micro controller would always be powered on if plugged in. It would always be waiting for the Bluetooth signal to flip the relay to power everything else. The wires that went to the nob would go to the controller an the output would be controlled by the micro controller AKA the Bluetooth. you could do it but the only thing your doing is making the power an speed button wireless. it is possible though to do that much.

And to Rydia. Yea that was my plan was to try an do my own with them or without. That’s why I took the time to do what I did. So yea I would be interested. It just takes a while to put them together on my own an have made such large improvements every time waiting was worth it. The initial investments are a lot more though too. The advancements cost probably 2 to 3 times as much as what they have right now. The profit margin will be smaller and the assembly will be harder. The hardware in the v2000 is less then 200 bucks. The cost just the parts for mines probably around 500 to 600. I like the idea though. I like what I got once I do the next one I’ll be about done, nothing else on the bucket list.

So, I agreed with you when I started this project. I started off doing pretty much just what your talking about. First off though, I want to say that making the controller wireless, Bluetooth or IR is the simple part so I am kind of bypassing that to get to the actual problems. Making the V2000 controlled digitally rather then with the analog potentiometer. I did that very quickly too. I replaced the potentimeter in the V2000 with the Arduino which I could control through a program on the computer as to how fast or slow the motor would turn. Unfortunately the motor ABCO uses is a plane DC motor. There is no way for the Arduino to know what position the motor is in or where in a stroke it is at. With no feed back from the motor you will not be able to let the controller know where it is in a stoke. You can duplicate this yourself. But, your going to know what the output is. If you got another person with their back to you with some music playing and let them twist the knob back an forth to the beat of the music it would have the same outcome. That will be exactly what you will get without allowing feed back from the motor to know what it is controlling. It would be similar to having sex with a blind person on anesthesia. The dc motor is the real limitation in the V2000. Not the wireless part. If you just wanted to make it wireless it would be easy. Adding automated speed control needs feed back. Ive already done it trust me. If it was easy, they would have already done it too. If all they needed to do is modify the controller they would have. They would have an advance controller option for +300 bucks or something. The actual problem is the type of motor they use.

Sure Venuxer…

I took quite a bit of time figuring it all out. First modifying the V2000. Then, making a new one from scratch with a stepper motor. I have made version 2.0 using a hybrid servo. I have all the parts for a third one which will be wireless (IR, TV remote) controlled. I’ve already tested all the hardware I just need to build the frame an put it all together.

Interesting I ran across this post. I was just about to try an email ABCO to see if I could get the schematics for the board. I also wanted to control the venues a little better. I was wanting to make stroke patterns an possibly us an IR remote (might work with any tv remote). I had already bought a Arduino kit an did a ton of research. It looks like the board is custom built by http://www.bodine-electric.com an the closes massed produced motor controller is the PWM dc speed control Model 0783. Almost all of their controllers state they can be controlled using the wiper an ground with a 5v signal which the Arduino produces. But, with this card that doesn’t seem to work, I only get to 1/2 speed that way. I think I got it working using the I1 and I2 connections. I don’t know what the hell I’m plugging into there though. Some times it crashes the Arduino an seems to not reach full speed. Man some details on that board would be nice.

Ideas are still
-possibly using a digital POT for programing in line with traditional POT for manual speed control an pattern
-Hall sensors on disk for stroke location
-Ir-remote for speed an pattern
-on an off would be nice but would have a constant power drain

I don’t know much of anything about android programming but sure would like to get up to speed with you EmbeddedAT.

Thanks for all of ya’lls inputs. I agree with montoya143 last post too. I haven’t tried the caps but I cut 3 or 4 inches off of the end of a penis extension and rubber band it to the mouth side of the receiver doing almost the same as the cap. I tight entrance with a lose grip length ways seemed the best for me. I think I am going to order the sleeve an give it a try. Why not after 1k on the product, 11 bucks isn’t anything.
