ECE443-Sp26

The 6th Sense: Haptic Audio Sensations project is a wearable device designed to translate sound into physical vibrations. By converting audio into haptic vibrations, the project aims to reduce social isolation and provide a more inclusive experience for Deaf and Hard of Hearing individuals. The system uses several important technologies that include an ESP32 microcontroller for signal processing and two AD5644 DAC chips to support eight channels of output. Furthermore to account for portability, the device is powered by a 18v RYOBI battery which is managed by a custom PCB. Lastly we have redesigned a custom PCB that integrates class-D amplifier and an automatic audio switching circuit that defaults to FM radio when no external jack is connected. One of the most notable accomplishments was taking a the pervious years PCB and updating it to include key components that we designed. A big challenge was woking with the computer science team cross functionally to get their software to work with our hardware.
