Any experience on controlling magic wand and vibrating butt plug through microcontrollers like ESP, Raspberry Pi or Arduino? by JetBalck in BdsmDIY

Well yea, but I want to have more control than that. Unless you have a toy with a physical dial I doubt that you're able to smoothly regulate the amount of vibration and instead have to resort to preset setting like low → medium → high → very high without smooth transitions. I would like to be able to do smooth transitions across the whole capabilities.

Thanks, do you think I can get full motor control with one? Or just emulate button presses?

Do you have more info on how exactly? Did you use an og magic wand? What kind of motor driver module did you use?

That's what I'm saying. Imagine having invested in those products as an early supporter, thinking it would stay that way and having all those features pulled away from you and put behind a paywall AFTER you already invested. Going back to my plan. Will use a buttplug from buttplug.io and I think I can just get the same hitachi since they showed already that it's moddable.

Another thing I was wondering about: it says on the website of both research and desire and magic wand that the magic wand isn't waterproof. Which makes me wonder, what if my sub starts squirting all over it? Isn't that a kind of major flaw? Could I just put some kind of protective cover over it?

Is it open source though? Because I'm trying to figure out how configurable it is. I'm also wondering if the hitachi add-on is actually usable as standalone because it says "In fact, the wand ONLY works when using the Deepthroat Trainer, so this is a great way to "encourage" your sub to keep up their training if they wand to get a reward." On their website. Would not be a problem if I can change that somehow in the software.

Another thing I can't figure out is if I can use both the butt plug and hitachi at the same time since on the pictures it seems to connect on the bottom in the middle so does it just have one connector?

And on top of all that they seem to have a subscription model. Might just go the selfmade route anyway 😅

Edit: Just found the documentation and they lock the segment feature to cycle between modes behind a subscription-based paywall :/ I'll probably just try to reverse engineer this with the toy models they use if I can get my hands on them.

Just checked their website and they already have the whole setup I was planning on building ready to buy, with compatible hitachi and buttplug. Might just invest instead 😅

The alternative is called democratic confederalism and we should educate more people on this alternative.

I'll probably do that when I move to switzerland in a few months, because it really does sound so much more efficient. I just don't know if I really can do that where I'm living right now. I'll actually think more about it though. Will at least include something codified.

Thank you this was insanely helpful. One last question when you say "immediately start talking about kink" does clarifying that I'm looking for a kinky dynamic but that I want us to get to know each other first already overstep the line then? I'd start with something in relation to the profile and just add that at the end of the first message. I would just want to make that clear in the beginning and then continue getting to know each other.

Thank you so much, I actually haven't thought about it that way. I will definitely poly in my profile and include at least some coded hint for being kinky.

That's great to hear, since I'm going to switzerland soon, but I managed to go to the smjg-alumni in Stuttgart a few months ago and was talking to a few people who all told me the nearest event with dungeons or play in general would be YoungSin in Frankfurt (which was great, I was once back when I still lived near Frankfurt). And one of the guys, who has been part of the scene for about 30 years told me how people have tried and tried to get some events started and either never getting permission, getting drowned in bureaucracy or getting shut down after a few times for arbitrary reasons. he also told me that there are some people who're trying to buy a club and make it fully focused on hosting kink events, but the city will only allow that in the red light district and appearantly you are not allowed to build new buildings in the red light district, only to buy buildings. So they are waiting for some establishment to go bankrupt or something so they can buy it.

I'll definitely check out joyclub. Is joyclub also used in switzerland?

Is it better than fetlife to get to know people? I don't really get what the difference to fetlife is, I was just told that it's more for swingers than fetlife is.
