However, I haven't been able to find a cheap source of tiny vibrating motors (e.g. pager motors), so the project's at a standstill right now.
- timtrueman 17y agoIs $4.95 cheap enough? http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=8449 http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_i... For anyone that hasn't heard of Sparkfun, it's kinda of like a small Newegg for electronics projects.
- pshc 17y agoI actually bought one of those to try it out back when I started the project. But the price was more like $1.50 from the place I bought it from (RobotShop). Since then, the price has gone up, so I feel ripped off at five bucks, eheh.

(Don't feel bad, searches come up with nothing!) I was reading unrelated blog posts to find these. By the way, I'm going to try building a feel space belt soon, you should email me.
- pshc 17y agoHey, thanks for the links. Only problem is, I'm Canadian, and it's tricky to find people who will ship to me... But yeah, if we could get a bulk order in together that would be great!
