Haply Controller

The Haply Controller is an interface device for haptic systems, delivering tactile feedback to users. As a component of the Haply Robotics platform, it facilitates the development and use of custom haptic devices for research, education, and prototyping.

• Microcontroller: The Haply Controller typically includes a microcontroller, such as an ARM Cortex-M processor, which handles the computation and control tasks for haptic feedback.

• Motor Drivers: The controller has integrated motor drivers that can control various types of motors (e.g., DC motors, stepper motors) to generate haptic forces.

• Sensor Inputs: It includes inputs for various sensors (e.g., encoders, force sensors) that provide real-time feedback on the position and forces applied by the haptic device.

• Communication Interfaces: The Haply Controller supports multiple communication interfaces, such as USB, UART, and I2C, allowing it to connect with computers and other devices for data exchange and control.

• Open-Source Software: Haply Robotics provides open-source software libraries and APIs that facilitate the development of haptic applications. This software is compatible with common programming languages like Python and C++.

• Customization: The controller is designed to be modular and customizable, allowing users to adapt it to their specific haptic device configurations and applications

• Power Supply: It typically includes options for power supply, either through USB or external power sources, depending on the power requirements of the connected motors and sensors.

The Haply Controller is widely used in academic research, engineering education, and prototyping environments where precise haptic feedback is essential.
