This is the initial build of the FEELD belt, also known as the clown belt. Currently, its a bunch of motors ganged off a ribbon cable bus and driven directly by Arduino digital IO pins. Tomorrow, it will gain a compass (so you always feel the north vector) and serial connectivity to my iPhone (to upload GPS waypoints and current GPS data).
I'm not the first one to make one of these. See http://tinyurl.com/bkr7kf.
However, mine is almost certainly the first one which will also have a wireless joystick remote for, um, funny puppeteering possibilities. Get your mind out of the gutter, that's not what I meant.
Yes, that's klesmer music playing in the background. There's just no better music to solder to.
