Which ones did u build? I’m lost

I ended up building the ones he made in this video, but I replaced the finger tip covers with a full pair of gloves which makes it easier to put them on. So you start with building the vibrating pads (which are shown in another video), then you connect them all up to the arduino with the block in between. Then you sow it all to your glove and you program the arduino as shown in the video. Hope this helps! Don't hestitate if you have more questions along the way, I am happy to help 😁

Which gloves the archery ones?

@@ellenquintero6 I just used a pair of old work gloves to get the job done. I don't think the style of gloves matter I just think it's getting the motors on the right spot on your fingers. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g8ypaK6e0tGpY4U.html

Thank you how did u know what parts to buy please?

@@ellenquintero6 I think I have a link to that in my description below from my video

@@LifewithParkinsons I don’t c the list of stuff to buy beneath the video

My wife has had substantial relief of tremor and gait improvements. The biggest non-motor symptoms have been constipation and blood pressure. Both have been improved, but not resolved. From watching the Tass videos, everyone seems to get a result from the Stanford gloves, but individual results vary widely. Of course, DIY glove/board will never be a rival to ones built with an entire research facility behind them. Our goal remains to provide relief to the population while we wait for the FDA approved device.

great goal.... @@pdvibrationtherapy

Actually, it is the reverse. The larger (Uno) with the motorshield uses an alternate power supply for the motors (a separate 5v feed). The smaller (Nano) uses the power supply of the Arduino and generates noticeably less vibration. My initial prototypes were with the Nano but using separate power supply for the motors (custom circuitry). I then moved to the Motorshield solution for simplicity. From there, I moved her to the microcontroller setup (one controller per glove). This worked well for her until she broke her foot last year. From that point, I focused on the Motorshield gloves and that is what she is currently using. It gives a stronger vibration (seems important) and coordination between hands (unclear if this is important).

@@pdvibrationtherapy thank you!

I have been using these of late. Any 5 volt 2 Amp battery pack will do. These are the standard cell phone chargers. www.amazon.com/dp/B09QCXR8D4?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1

The Arduino's state 5v output. I consistently get 2.0-2.3 volts. You are correct that device requires more amperage than the Nano puts out to reach maximum speed. Fortunately, we are less concerned with maximizing the motor speed than will achieving a vibration level. While the motorshield has the ability to regulate motor speed, the microcontroller does not. You can validate the voltage by building the microcontoller, connecting the terminal block, but not connecting the fingers. You can then pull voltage readings from the terminal block screws. Of course, you can just go ahead and connect the fingers and do the same voltage pull.

There is no trade school willing to build these for me please tell me could an electrician do this I’m willing to pay don’t know who to hire this is way beyond my understanding

@@ellenquintero6 Absolutely an electrician can build these. My only suggestion would be to have them build two sets of the "fingers" as there will be some failures over time and you will want spares.

I know how you feel. I'm thinking some people don't want to get involved as it could mean neg. legal consequences, if things go wrong with someone's treatments.@@ellenquintero6

Correct. The Nano power supply doesn't deliver the same power as the motorshield, thus the reduced vibration intensity.

My email is pdbuzzboard@gmail.com. There is a discussion thread on the GitHub site.

What is happening? Do you have the sketch downloaded? Does it show up in the IDE when you open it? Can you see your device and port? If you’re using the HiLetgo Nanos, you will need to set the device type to Duemilenova. Feel free to email me directly with any questions.

@@pdvibrationtherapy could you provide me your email please. I appreciate you getting back to me. I am not sure how to fully explain the issues I am having, as I am not very familiar with this process. I'd love to discuss more over email.

Full disclosure, these ARE NOT the Dr. Tass / Stanford gloves. Those are only accessible via Stanford University trials. After the Today Show piece, I embarked on a mission to build a Vibrotactile device to provide symptom relief for my wife which helped her a great deal. I built the device by reading through the publications on the Tass Laboratories/Stanford website med.stanford.edu/tass-lab.html . Gleaning the information from the publications, I put together a representation of the patterns that Tass has created and instantiated that into a device. Based upon my wife's response, I was encouraged to share what I learned in the process and this channel was born. There have been excellent contributions from others that have engaged in a build and have improved on the design. I am confident that the official Tass gloves work better and they are certainly backed by a much stronger technical team. However, many have found some relief from symptoms while we wait for the official, FDA approved device. This is a Do It Yourself project and is in no way an approved medical device. No warranty of applicability for any purpose express or implied.

You are, of course, free to use the technology. I haven't heard of anyone using it for the deaf. However, the Tass Laboratories have had success with similar technology (they used the Coordinated Reset patterns with sound) for people with Tinnitus.

have you solved this problem?

Yes. After trying several batteries I found I needed a battery with 5v, 2A and at least 10,000 mAH. The ones I am using now are 15,000 mAH and work great. Unfortunately they are a bit large to comfortably wear on my forarms (one each side).

I have not had success using 9 volt batteries. From my early testing, it doesn’t deliver enough amperage to sufficiently vibrate the motors. Also, the motor shield code is written for 5v input
