It's done!! First time I've ever used a stripboard! Now assigning the pins in software and first testing! So exciting! 😆

A microcontroller, ICs and condensators soldered to a stripboard.

The back side. You see some stratches to interrupt the copper, and some mediocre solder points.

Meanwhile, I'm printing an updated case for the vibration motors, which securely houses the fragile cables! Thanks to @psenough and @flauschzelle for the suggestion! :)

Black 3D-printed clips for motors. Thick blue wires come out of the casing.

I assembled everything, and it works! <3 The vibration is very noticable through the belt!

It's controlled via a custom Android app, gonna tweak that tomorrow, and write documentation. :)

The belt is now covered with cables and motor clips.

The board I made is glued to one end with tape.

I built a haptic compass belt this week, that allows me to feel north using vibrations! 🧭

Here's how it works, and how you can build your own: blinry.org/compass-belt/

Me, a white, red-bearded person, points happily at the compass belt around my hips.

The compass belt is wrapped around my hips. It has a lot of blue cables, black plastic clips, and a brown circuit board.
