July '24 Update
Added 2024-07-29 00:27:53 +0000 UTCHi Guys,
I'm getting ready to drop the Alpha2 release of the TJoy. This update is very exciting because it will mean you can use the TJoy to control a stroker robot anywhere in the world!
I released the first build instructions and part files for the TJoy at the beginning of this month. At the current time it's just a fun curiosity that can produce a fun line going up and down in the serial monitor.
With this update that is going to change. I've been working with soritesparadox, creator the Ayva Remote platform. Thanks to him I have been able to write code for the TJoy that can connect to Ayva Remove via bluetooth.
TJoy is going wireless. I have expanded the internal electronics to include a battery. It is also going multi-axis. I have added an IMU so that it can control pitch roll and twist as well as stroke.
I expect to release the Alpha2 version of the TJoy on 1st August to my Maker ($8) tier.
The other good news is that I have invested in some new equipment for livestreaming and my most recent stream co-hosted by Telani went very well. If you're a Supporter ($2) tier Patron be sure to keep an eye on Patreon for upcoming streams. In the next week or so I will be talking to soritesparadox about using the TJoy with Ayva Remote.
Benefactors (16$ tier) I haven't forgotten about you. I've been in something of a mental funk the last month or so getting the newsletter written up. It is in progress and I will be publishing May and June soon! In the meantime you can keep up with my regular updates on Discord.
Happy building!
Tempest
