TranceSharp - for your Vibratory needs

Finally got around to beating up on the Trance Vibrator until I got it under my control. I now have a pretty simple C# console app that just prompts for a value 0-255 where 0 cancels and 255 is full strength. What matter though is that I got it to work, and now I can mess around with it to get it to work on whatever input I can value between ~0x32 and 0xFF. So yes, this project is actually going somewhere now. Howzabout that!

Trance# Super Duper Alpha Build
Trance# Super Duper Alpha Source

Made in Whidbey, so no idea as to compatibility, but it's a safe bet you'll need some form of the .NET Framework. I'll work on this further later, that's all I aimed to accomplish before bed. Some ideas for features, though I have put very little thought into practicality:
-multithreading/multi-device compatability [five units set to different channels for a surround system, sound fun?]
-WinAMP/Milkdrop/iTunes/etc integration- Whichever I aim for is based almost entirely on how little rewriting it will take from this point, because I am a lazy, lazy man.
-Genre Presets: Pay attention to different ranges for different presets - like having an EQ on your vib
-Cross-platform compatability?- I've seen examples of a similar implementation on OSX- I just don't have a system to test it on. If that changes or if anyone else has the tools and interest, it's a possibility.

QUICK WALKTHROUGH:
-Download trancesharpalpha.rar and extract the files (TranceSharp.exe, uusbd.dll, uusbd.inf) to any directory you please.
-Plug your Trance Vibrator into your computer via a free USB port (it is a Low Speed 1.0 device, it will work in just about any USB port since the dawn of time.)
-Select "I will choose the device from a list", then make your way to "Have Disk..." and point it to that uusbd.inf [if you for somehow don't have some file you need, the full uusbd file is here [http://www.otto.to/~kasiwano/uusbdv10.zip] as a free download]
-Windows will ask you if you're sure you'd like to install an unsigned driver- saying no is for pussies.
-Run TranceSharp.exe, it should make your vibrator go on full, and then to mostly full- you can type in a number now to adjust the strength. 1-255 for motor, 0 to quit. There is not a semblance of error checking or catching, or anything at this point, so if you type in "42069lol" the program will crash and your vibrator will shake angrily at its last setting until you reopen the program and close it properly.
I didn't go to work for a month,
I didn't leave my bed for eight days straight.
I haven't hung out with anyone,
'Cause if I did, I'd have nothing to say.

I am going to spread this around.

I will get the license to make/distribute my own Trance Vibrators in the US and sell them bundled with the finished product of this software, and in that way shall I spread it around! (Disclaimer: I will not acutally do this)

soooo... what's the intended purpose of the software?

Masturbation, primarily.
Secondarily, muscular massage.
Thirdly....ummm..... I've only got two :( OH! If you put it on the base of your skull at full power it fucks up your ability to see straight, so there's that I guess.

Is there truly any greater reason than masturbation for science? I think not.

I think that's pretty awesome.

Hey, any chance I could bribe you into posting that as news on OtakuBooty?

I saw your post about OB going pay (I really hate charging money, but it costs a lot to run!) but I think posting news about this development project would be a fine substitute for money. :)

Either way - good luck with the project!

Hey, what's up? I'm qDot, I run http://www.deathbots.org/ and http://www.slashdong.org/ (that last one is obviously not safe for work). I've also been doing some work with misusing force feedback (http://www.slashdong.org/boards/viewforum.php?f=2 for some examples, once again, horribly, stupid not safe for anywhere. I'm working on writing clean versions for deathbots, but I also fall under the horribly lazy issue), and would love to link to your stuff. Do you have a webpage/sourceforge project you're keeping up about this, or am I ok to link to your blog?

I'm actually looking at going the other direction here, i.e. building a DIY Trance Vibrator to work with Rez on the PS2. I can already basically do that with my PS controller mod, but it's horribly messy. The final hope is to be able to control the lights in the room and other environmental stimuli through force feedback signals.

Oh yeah, and if you don't actually have webspace for the project and want some, I'll be more than happy to provide you an account on one of my domains. It'd be kinda nice not to be the only one workin' on this stuff. :)

program isn't working for me

"the application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). Click on OK to terminate the application." is the error I keep getting after I go through all the steps and try to open trancesharp.exe . What am I doing wrong, or how might I fix this? thepillaroflight@yahoo.com if you know the solution to this. Thanks.

Works Great!

Just got a Trance and thought I'd give this a try... works exactly as it should! My only question (and request if the answer is "no" is... can you use command line arguments to automatically run/start/stop the Trance at a certain setting for a certain duration?

Development

I wanted to know if you further developed this? I jsut got the game a few months ago with the TV and my girlfriend thinks it is the poo. Have you worked on a winamp plugin or something else with this? Do you know how to tweak the installer to allow the driver to go into an x64 system?

Re: Development

I haven't touched this since release- I have a x64 system that I use now, so I may look into what's required in getting this working on that platform.

Not that you'll ever see this comment :)
