Sewable Haptic Driver Controller Board

While playing with haptic motors I was frustrated with the limitations of daisy-chaining drivers and microcontrollers to control a large number of motors. I wanted a centralized board that could drive dozens of motors and be easily incorporated into haptic garments like gloves or shirts.

Driver Board Specifics

  • Capable of driving 24 haptic motors

  • Attachment points for conductive thread

  • Designed in Eagle

The haptic motors would be incorporated into sewable breakout boards or the glove itself and connect to the board with conductive thread, enabling a low profile array. I created the schematic and PCB but haven’t ordered a fabricated prototype yet.
