These are the parts you will need for prototype 3 with recommended links to buy (make sure you get the right ones)
Currently, these are US links, but I will hopefully have UK/EU options later on.
-
WL b10k ohm Potentiometer (5x per hand)
- You will also need the nuts that are included with the potentiometers.
- Recommended Amazon Link (Affiliate)
- Recommended Aliexpress Link
-
ESP32 Dev Board or Arduino (1x per hand)
- Recommended Board Types:
- ESP-WROOM-32
- ESP32-WROOM-32U (For external antenna)
- Arduino Nano (No bluetooth)
- Recommended Amazon Link
- Recommended Aliexpress Link
- If not using BT, may need a long USB cable to connect your arduino to your computer if you don't have one
-
Cheap retractable badge reels (for the rotary springs, 5x per hand)
-
Glove material of your choice.
- Recommended: Nylon Inspection Gloves (more flexy), Cycling/Golf gloves (stronger, easier to put on)
-
Something to mount the controller/tracker on your hand
- Elastic works well for oculus controllers, I will be making some 3d printed mounts eventually
-
Wiring/Connectors/Breadboards as needed.
- I recommend crimping/using JST connectors, 5 pin JST-XH 2.54mm fit great on the potentiometers.
- A great first crimper set (optional, sometimes $35)
- If you're in a pinch you can probably get away with soldering straight to the potentiometers, or using pre-crimped dupont wires from arduino kits.
-
Highly Recommended: A Can of WD-40 to lubricate the potentiometers
- This makes the pots feel 10x smoother.
- WD-40 is flammable so spray at your own risk.
- Potential alternatives: (UNTESTED) Deoxit, Triflow
