Vibration Motor For Medical Patient Simulator / CPR Dummy

Posted on31 Jul, 201826 Nov, 2019

THE APPLICATION & SOLUTION Haptics is often associated with touchscreens, but in this application, our customer introduced haptic feedback with a very different goal – to simulate the feeling of a patient’s heartbeat! Our customer is a medical company with the expected high requirements on Continue reading

New Haptic Feedback Evaluation Kit tutorial: Driving multiple LRAs

Posted on3 Jan, 201728 Nov, 2019

  We recently added a new tutorial for the M20-200 Haptic Feedback Evaluation Kit, which looks at driving multiple LRAs from a single source. Unfortunately, driving multiple LRAs at the same time is extremely problematic for a single haptic driver as many of the excellent Continue reading

Risks of using under-powered batteries in haptics

Posted on3 Nov, 20169 Dec, 2019

Many haptic applications, in particular, wearables, face severe trade-offs in overcoming limitations in power supplies. A battery’s volume is directly related to a host of other desirable specifications, such as voltage, current, or capacity. For many designers, squeezing as much life out of their battery Continue reading

Tutorial: Using Haptic Feedback with Music or Audio Signals

Posted on3 Jun, 201610 Dec, 2019

We recently published a new tutorial for our Haptic Feedback Evaluation Kit that explores how to play music or other audio signals on a vibration motor or LRA. Using the great new “Audio-to-Vibe” feature in the DRV2605 and the 3.5mm audio socket on the Haptic Continue reading

Which haptic effects should you use?

Posted on16 Dec, 201529 Nov, 2019

Haptic feedback is all about transmitting information to the user, often they are required to tell the difference between the multiple types of notification. This is where we enter the world of human factors engineering, or ‘ergonomics’. This is the discipline that considers how humans interact Continue reading

Vibration Frequency vs Vibration Occurrence

Posted on17 Nov, 201510 Dec, 2019

In this article, we’ll clear up a confusing difference in terminology and attempt to create a common language surrounding vibration frequencies. The problem arises because in normal conversation we might refer to a single vibration effect as ‘a vibration’. For example, you might say your Continue reading
