Hello everyone,
As you can see, I am new here. My wife and I are looking to start an adult novelty company and I was looking into solutions that would allow bluetooth control of these products. I bought an Arduino kit and an Intel Edison developer kit to get started, but I had an epiphany as I was driving back from Microcenter.
Talking in terms of electric and circuits, which I haven't actively studied for over 10 years, I had this idea. Typically in a novelty item you have a set of controls, other than power, that let you increase/decrease power and switch to separate modes. I then thought that since a bluetooth speaker has the same controls (volume up/down and to switch songs), if I replace the speakers with motors, would this work? Other than the obvious fact that I would have to create a custom microcrontroller, in theory, would this work for prototype reasons? Going back to basic electric currents, speakers have a positive and negative as do motors, increasing sound is increasing power which would make the motor spin faster, and switching sounds on a microcontroller would cause the motor to synchronize with the electrical pulses giving different "patterns".
Please let me know if you think this will work!
