A shitpost manifested into physical reality.
The VIBROSCYPEK is a pair of wireless communicators built into 3D-printed shells shaped like oscypek, a traditional Polish smoked sheep cheese. Assembled from pieces of e-cigs and crap from a drawer, this project is a glorious testament to junk-drawer engineering.
And yes, they actually talk to each other.
- Wireless Communication: Two oscypki can communicate with each other.
- Simple Pairing Mechanism: When two devices are brought very close together, they use the signal strength (RSSI) to determine the pairing partner.
- Custom Enclosure: A lovingly crafted, 3D-printed oscypek shell. Because why not?
- (Vibro) Haptic Feedback: The name implies it, right?
This project was a great excuse to learn a new protocol.
- Hardware: ESP32-C3 Board
- Communication: ESP-NOW
- A nifty connectionless Wi-Fi communication protocol from Espressif that acts as a simple abstraction layer over standard Wi-Fi/Bluetooth, making peer-to-peer communication incredibly easy.
Assembled with love, solder, and whatever was available.
- 2x ESP32 development boards
- 2x Vibration motors
- 2x Momentary switches
- 2x Slide switches (for a hard power disconnect)
- 2x Tiny BMS PCBs
- 2x Rechargeable Li-Ion batteries (did you know the 'disposable' e-cigs that people throw out come with a perfectly re-usable battery?!)
- The disembodied guts of various e-cigarettes and other drawer treasures
- 16x small magnets (5x2.5mm) - .step file attached, so you can adjust to what you have on hand
- 3D printed
