Boards came back from fabrication, and we have the first production build under testing. Kits should be available soon (I hope)

This weekend I made the remainder of the website live. It has the foundation for the project and future expansion. It is totally bootstrapped with all web dev done by me (so its not great) but I think passable for now so I can put all my resources into the actual hardware.

This arrived today and so far- I like it very much. The scents are quite good and as a starter- they are a great collection. The only one I dont really "get" is Rain which doesnt really smell like rain to me but has a very pleasant smell. The big surprise was actually Ocean Breeze. I expec...

I am going to be testing this out from Amazon: https://amzn.to/3EURnBD The nature pack should fill in the remainder I have for gaps in my outdoor scenarios. Between this and their campfire pack- I think we can be covered for most outdoor situations Includes Forest Pine, Ocean Breeze, Rain, Fresh Cut...

Trying this out from Amazon https://amzn.to/3OsvBs7

includes Campfire, Smores, Dirt, Fresh Cut Wood, Night Air, and Cedar aromas. This should be perfect to fill in some outdoor scenarios.

Ive been going down the rabbit hole of essential oil creation

This is a great starter article explaining the basics of making a scent. It can be applied to make any custom scent for ScentVR

I started designing the PCB this week and decided on 6 logic level mosfets since I already have them in stock :) They also allow for upscaling the device to huuuuuge fans if desired with minor rework. I think I might actually sell these as kits or maybe even a commercial product this time. I have gi...

I started building the enclosure first so I can get the layout of the scent modules so I can next make the PCB- makes sense in my mind at least. I used my simple custom box (tutorial from Adafruit) and added a 6 hole pattern to the lid. The jars fit perfectly and get suspended from the lid at about ...

I started the build by raiding the Dollar Store as I always do :) I found condiment jars which will be the perfect size to hold different scents with a decent surface area for dispersion. For simplicity I will have 6 fans controlled by a microcontroller with possible web interface and OLED display. ...

I decided to create a new project to support my expanding VR use. I am enjoying the Bhaptics vest and Protube stock whcih give me real haptic feedback in virtual reality but I want MORE. I am making a scent dispersion module that will randomly deploy different smells in to my airflow at random times...
