Finally made some. kzfaq.info8IXhyh_6z_o?si=6eEzycfQYEuu5xD0

Can anyone tell me how you install the software onto the Audrino from Github?

So I successfully uploaded the library into my Arduino Uno as instructed in the PD Buzz Board video but when I upload the Vibro Therapy Motor Shield 167.ino sketch and click on verify/compile, a compilation error pops up every time saying that this file does not exist. Any chance someone could give me some advice on this as I would love to get my gloves working. Thanks, Craig

Thanks so much for this. I have Parkinson's with tremors and other problems. I've been interested in the vibrating gloves since I saw Stanford's reports on them over a year ago. So far my nuerologist hasn't tried this therapy . I retired from a biotech lab with all the equipment and most of the materials to build this quite easily.I will give this a try. I'll let you know our results. Thanks again!

How can i purchase.a working pair of gloves?

How do I go about emailing you and how can I get involved and participating in your chats? Thank you.

Hi firstly thanks for sharing all your good work . I have a partner who was diagnosed PD around 4years ago and want to make her some gloves . I have a friend that will help how has electronics expertise . I have got the parts list from GitHub but would like the Stanford’s part list if possible , to cross reference the two and see if we can get the design any closer to the Stanford glove . If we can make any advances we’ll gladly pass any information we learn back to you to share with the community.

Can you make these for this that are not tech savvy?

thank you so much! I think in a previous video you mentioned that the power output from the bigger arduino board was noticeably lower (motor vibration strength) have you seen sufficient vibration power from the nano directly wired to the motors?

Thank you so much for all your work in trying to help all of us parkies in fighting back against this awful disease. So, I saved the Arduino link but where can I find the sketch that replicates the Tass Lab to upload into the Arduino Uno Rev 3. Also, in your latest video with you reproducing the newest Buzzboard single controller gloves, I have heard you call your processor an Arduino nano and Uno at different times in the video. Was this just a slip of the tongue? Thanks, Craig

Does anyone have the parts list with maybe part numbers source and quantities?

I would like to build this but my tremor won't let me.

Do you have a circuit diagram ?? all the best Tim

I built the board succesfully and had to do some adaptations on how to fix the motors to the finger, using some velcro, after two weeks I started to received comments from friends and family, asking what happened to me because I looked much better, I canot thank you enough, may god bless you and your family, you did a eonderfull job with your video, GRACIAS FROM MEXICO

Dutch Canada thanks for making this video. It was the impetus I needed to also “put my head down and make them”. I’m an older lady, never did anything like this, but using this video and the OP’s videos, it went together fairly quickly. I couldn’t get the Arduino Uno to load the sketch and had to reach out for help but other than that I just needed patience. My husband had his first session today. He has advanced Parkinson’s so I’m not expecting miracles. Just hoping to ease his burden a little.

@user-bs4qc8gp6j 35 seconds ago Hi can you please give me the details of the vibrations ie how long and at what frequeceny and power? and the program for the computer. and what computer did you use? all the best TIM

Do you experience dyskinesia after using it for some time?

Thankyou sir for this simple multimeter demo. I have watched all of your other PD Glove/Arduino container video builds and will begin constructing a pair of gloves (single controller) for my neighbor this weekend; based on your GitHub parts/sw list. Only question I have at this point is over-powering the 3v motors. In another video you had mentioned your experience with 'over-volting' the motors which may have shortened their lifespan or effectiveness. Obviously 5v required for the Arduino Uno V3.. but shouldn't we also be supplying only 3v to the motor shield? Great work and for helping with PD! and thanks for any further guidance you can provide.

Excellent job!!! You inspired me. I will try to build my own globes. I have some doubts with the motors if you can help. You mentioned that Digikey motors work at 15000 rpm but in specifications I’ve read that they do at 12000 rpm and they are built for 3V but if I’m not wrong Arduino works with 5V…. Model VW0625AB001G is correct?

Thanks so much for what you are doing. And the Nano code!

My husband has assembled the gloves. can I please get simple step bystep software instructions? I have downloaded arduino and am presently looking at screen that says a bunch of gobble dee gook about a set up code and a loop and main code. I have NO tech skills whatsoever! I did get to a libraries but the files I need are not there.

someone please share about install of software to program the arduino. I am near devoid of tech skills. can I please get simple step by step instructions

I completed my gloves box in Nov 23. My feedback is there's no way I can wear these gloves two hours in the morning, two hours in the afternoon -- as recommended. My schedule is about an hour in the morning and an hour in the evening 3-5 days a week. Did I notice an improvement in three months.? I did feel as though my brain was adapting. I had to stop for about 3 weeks due to a side effect of cognitive dizziness that raised concern. This maybe a cautionary warning to be careful with DIY treatments. The wintry weather also was a negative factor. My symptoms did deteriorate when I stopped. I suspect the teens temps contributed to it. I started up again (02/17/24). This is not a recommendation to build this devise. I'm simply sharing my experience. I'll report back with an update in 3 months.

Thank you for sharing this!! How has your wife responded to the stimulation? She’s very lucky to have you 🙂

First let me say that I appreciate very much you making this video. I have already made one pair of gloves for my father and have been wanting to make a second pair with improvements. Your video was exactly what I needed. I have run into one problem. I cannot find the adapters that connects the vibrating motors to the power cable. Could you please help me out on where to find them. I believe in your video you said you found them on TEMU. I searched TEMU but could not find them. Where did you find them and what are they called?

This is me! Buzz and I connected to get this video up for others. So far no motor burn outs but a couple cables popped out of the Arduino Nano in the white box. For some reason the M2 (Motor 2) isn't sending a signal currently. Suspect might the that I hit the black 'reset' button on the Nano. Will try to re-upload the IDE algorithm tomorrow and see if this fixes the M2 signal. My childhood friend tackled the gloves first using Buzz's Gen 2-ish design so I could ask him a lot of questions. Build is the combination of Buzz's videos, my friend tackling the project first and me putting my head down!

Thank you so much.

I noticed that in this video the gloves are different from those purchased at Dicks Sporting Goods shown in an earlier video. Have you found one type to be better than another. The first shown (Dicks) look more flexible at the finger tips which should be nice for multi-tasking (using the hands while "buzzing." But they are likely not as good at keeping the motor in one place. What is your take. Thanks for your work, I am about ready to build my first set of gloves. Another question. Does the motor shield type controller reduce the 5 v from the batter to the 3 v expected, or do I need to go measure that? Thanks

can any one help me, i am new to arduino- i upload the sketch but keep getting error C:\\Downloads\VibroTherapyMotorShield\VibroTherapyMotorShield.ino:7:10: fatal error: AFMotor.h: No such file or directory #include <AFMotor.h> ^~~~~~~~~~~ compilation terminated. exit status 1 Compilation error: AFMotor.h: No such file or directory

In this video, you refer to the paper, I think written by Dr. Tass at Stanford, that contains the description of the temporal pattern of the vibratory pulses that are sent to the finger motors. I'd like to obtain a copy of that paper. Could you provide the citation for that paper and/or its source? In advance, thank you again for this excellent tutorial, truly outstanding.

I would like to know how many people have got the gloves really working. If the gloves really worked for some people like the DBS does, that is, the tremor stopped after the glove is turned on, it can support my explanations on how the tremors are generated. Current theory believes the neurons in the brain that create dopamine for nerve communication abnormally creating unwanted electronic signals and causing movements like tremors, rigidity, or difficulty initiating movement. However, I do not believe this theory explains how a DBS works. At least it does not tell why adding the none-neuron-generated DBS signals to the nerve system can stop a PD patient’s tremor. The real nerve control signals generated by neuros should be much more complex and meaningful than the simple electronic signals generated by the electronic devices. I am a PD patient and also the founder of ICmasters Inc. ICmasters provides integrated circuit analysis services for the world top-20 semiconductor companies. As an electronic expert, I see the tremor more likes an undesirable parasitic oscillation in the nerve system of motor sensing and controlling. When the neurons cannot generate enough dopamine, the nerve system tries to automatically adjust the system operations by increasing its loop gain to output stronger control signals and that forms positive feedback and causes the unwanted oscillations. A similar example is the Tinnitus (ringing in ears). Some ear ringing is generated by oscillations in the patient’s related nerve systems caused by increased gain if the patient has Tinnitus only in quite places. Considering the nerve signal transmitting speed, the tremor likes a low frequency oscillation, and a muscle contraction likes a high frequency oscillation, or a positive over-flow DC feedback. According to information system stability theory, in the case of no modifications on our nerve systems, it is possible to stop the parasitic oscillations by adding proper electronic signals to anywhere in the systems because of it decreases the nerve system’s loop gain. This consumption explains how DBS works. If this is true, we can stop tremors and probably muscle contractions by adding electronic signals to the hands, arms and anywhere on the bodies, rather than only do deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. This explains how the gloves work. I can be reached by email [email protected]. I hope we can work together to reduce the Parkinson symptoms.

Hello, I've just ordered components on the list. I need a buy listing for a power supply for the buzzboard . it's not on the list. If I can build this board properly, I'm still going to need help on programming. (The last computer course I took involved a unit as big as a dorm room in 1970 university days with hundreds of floppy discs floating around the room. ) It's simultaneous vibrations of the hand's finger sequences, I believe, are important to the function of the board. So any added instructions for people like me would be great.

Just put the glove together and it works great ! The updates are good improvements to the gloves. Thanks for all of the info.

does anyone know if it is better for re-setting the brain to have both hands vibate in unison?

Has anyone tried the vibration T(X) who already have a DBS in place? Thanks so much!

Thanks for the information, it´s very interesaant, I´m working on a project for profoundly deaf person, do you think can I use your technology for that project?

Hello, Thank you very much for the detailed instructions and parts list. I was able to successfully procure all parts and build one with the 12000 rpm motors on Amazon. However, I am encountering an issue with the vibration strengths between the different motors. Every time I turn the setup on and off, different motors are at full strength vibration (say 4-6 of the 8) and the remaining ones vibrate at a milder strength. This is not a connection problem, as all motors are at full strength at some time or the other (when turned on and off, different ones are at full strength), but never all together at once. I have tried switching power sources, including directly through wall outlets, but the issue persists. So, I don't believe it is the connections or the power. Has anyone else faced this issue? Suggestions to troubleshoot are most welcome. The Arduino I purchased is genuine version.

Thanks . Got that flashing yellow LED right after uploading the sketch. Will do the wiring of the flat button motors soon. Doing this for my father.

I built the archery glove version with the Arduino Uno w/ motor driver. I have just completed the first of this finger cot with Nano. The vibrations are much weaker now, is this just because of the nano and no motor driver?

Can we program the PWM output port bits to mimic the motor shield board so that the performance won't be compromised by this Nano board with much desired footprint?

Based upon requests, I have added two additional Sketches to GitHub. The VibroTherapyMotorShield_167_75.ino Sketch uses the 167 millisecond timing, but vibrates the motors at 75% of the strength of the standard 167. The VibroTherapyMotorShield_167_90.ino vibrates the motors at 90% of the standard _167 strength.

I was told folks get gait issues from it

Reason to take time off I thought was to keep from habituating the brain so impact doesn’t wear off. Someone Was telling me some folks get gait issues on 100. Is it the same vib just weaker . I’m afraid to confuse my brain going back and forth. - I tried 100 for 1/2 hour yesterday and felt zen and tremor left for hours after. Do we think we can chat on phone. I’m 70 year old so worried about over stim and have stuff to write I can’t put on line that’s important. Do u have email that’s not public I’ll send u my number?

Her tremors still better? I got overstimulation bad tremors so had to back off time on gloves . Did she ever take time off like month? Thanks so much ps as that’s a lot use from Jan - now

Do u use program 100 or 167 please- how is she doing? Thank u so very much

For some reason I can't get Motors 3 and 4 to work . Is it possible I have a bad board ?? Or not enough power? Any insight would be great
