Introducing OSR new firmware

Kieshi

Introducing "Haptics configurator" - a tool for uploading, updating & configuring firmware for OSR devices. https://config.hapticsconnect.com/ The firmware is based on ESP-IDF SDK, runs FreeRTOS & supports Serial / BLE / WiFi data input & serial configuration. Firmware updater Tool to upload & update OSR firmware on ESP32 MCU. Press "How to" button on the Uploader page for instructions. Firmware configurator

Press “Connect to Serial Device” button & select serial port device is connected to.
Device configurations is printed in log console after the board is connected.
Select active input interface, servo-motor GPIOs and calibration values & press “Send configuration” button.
Press "Reset/EN" button or reconnect the board to apply configuration

Serial Input Mode Device receives T-Code data through USB serial port as in original Arduino firmware. BLE Mode Firmware is supported in Haptics Connect application for local BLE streaming. iOS & Android builds will be soon available in stores. WiFi Mode T-Code data is collected from web-socket server. After configuring wifi credentials and resetting the board, IP address is printed in console log after connection to the network. You can use this address to send WebSocket data from web-server to OSR device.

Testing connection Ayva-Stroker application was used to test serial & wifi data streams.

Also available with WebXR web player. You can now connect your device to SLR straight from browser (Available on Chrome)

Coming soon: OSR will become compatible with SLR and Haptics connect on Quests and other supported headsets

Manufacturing note: we can make our firmware work with every device manufacturer. If it has ESP32 MCU - process will be quite fast, for everything else we can discuss separate cases. Please reach out to me for potential partnership opportunities!

For owners of g90ak Edition OSR2+’s, we do not yet recommend using this firmware until we do more testing. Will update separately.

If you want to leave some feedback, don't hesitate to do so in the comments or on our forum thread.

Any questions - let us know 🙂

Update 1.07.2024: Deployed a new version, it should fix the issue with timeout error from Windows PC.
Speed of uploading might be a big lower, but it should fix the initial issue.

Does it work with Funsr1? https://discuss.eroscripts.com/t/review-funsr1-in-action-beats-the-handy/157363

RealcumberScripts

fenderwq Thats an interesting device, but the FunSR1 has a different type of motor which drivers are not compatible with

@fenderwq do you have that device by chance? If so, how do you find it?

fenderwq

RealcumberScripts Took the plunge and ordered it, will know soon 🙂

RealcumberScripts Old question but I had some time with the FunSR1 now and I can say it's a very good device. The main advantage for me is that I like my favourite fleshlights a lot better then the handy sleeves. I also have a Keon but the script playback of that device is really crap compared to the handy (and even more so then the FunSR1) and I also hate the battery concept so I never use it.

Playback on the FunSR1 is really good though. Bluetooth can cause some issues depending on how far away your computer is (mine is in another room). Would have liked a stable wifi connection better. It is what it is though.

I love that multi fun player now has the ability to map the edging buttons (it's a bit clunky still (it's not really a toggle and you have to press buttons multiple times) but a huge improvement for these kind of OSR/SSR toys and imo an essential feature to have). Once you have this set up you can basically just forget about it and use it similar to a handy. I do miss the range sliders the handy has in DeoVR though.

Noise is okay, similar to handy I'd say. It can handle quite a bit of weight and has no problems with something like a fleshlight.

The device is more noticable in passthorugh then a handy though. I find the orange accent color especially distracting. Also fleshlights are just much bigger than a handy sleeve but that's not a fault of the device (it even supports handy sleeves too (both adapters are included).

Mounting was easy too, could just use the handy handsfree adapter I had lying around.

All in all pretty great device and a definite upgrade over the handy if you don't mind a little initial set up. It was delivered quickly too. It's not a traditional consumer device though (even though it's pretty plug and play) but I don't know if it really matters much for a SLR script streaming or Heresphere XBVR kind of use case.

Anyone actually get the firmware to flash on an ESP32 successfully? Every time I try it I get "Error: Timeout". Tried 2 different computers, 2 different boards, 2 different cables, nothing seems to work. I can upload the SR6-Alpha4-ESP32.ino from Arduino IDE with no problems, but this firmware just doesn't work. Is there a place where I can download the "osr2-esp32-0.1.5.bin" so I can try to load it another way?

Here is the Status text when I try:

paulsy101 hi! I will check with the team on possible solution and get back to you asap

Kieshi

paulsy101 Could you please share your Serial adapter version? We need to know in order to reproduce what you are experiencing

paulsy101

Kieshi It has a CP2102 chip on it. On Windows 11 I see it as "Silicon Labs CP210x USB to UART Bridge (COM8)". The Driver is direct from Silicon Labs and is version 11.3.0.176, dated 4/13/23. Is this the information you are looking for?

Kieshi

paulsy101 From what you have mentioned, it seems like you did not install VCP driver. Try installing it from this link

paulsy101

Kieshi That is where I got the driver from originally (CP210x Universal Windows Driver). I have now tried the "CP210x VCP Windows" version 6.7, and the "CP210x Windows Drivers" version 6.7.6 drivers. Rebooting the computer each time after changing the drivers, and I still get the same timeout message when flashing. With each of these drivers, I can still see messages scroll by when I use the "Connect to Serial Device" button on the Configurator tab, so I believe communication is good to the ESP32. I have tried holding down the "Boot" button when flashing, pressing the "EN" button at different times during the various stages of the process, and every time I get the "Error: timeout" message.

I have no problem flashing the "SR6-Alpha4_ESP32.ino" or the "SR6-Alpha4-ESP32-Bluetooth-Enhanced.ino" via Arduino IDE. Is there someplace I can download the file and flash it like I do these other firmware to eliminate the need to flash from the site?

Kieshi

paulsy101 Ok, then I will need a bit more information to pass on to the team to reproduce this.
Could you please share with me the following:

Windows version
Browser you use and its version
ESP32 module version (where you bought esp32 dev-kit)

paulsy101

Here is the information you requested:

Windows 11 version 22H2 (OS Build 22621.3737) - Laptop
Windows 11 version 23H2 (OS Build 22631.3737) - Desktop

Browsers used (both computers identical):
Chrome - Version 126.0.6478.57 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Edge - Version 125.0.2535.92 (Official build) (64-bit)

ESP32 module DEV Kit V1 - chips shows 211-161007
Purchased from Amazon. Here is the listing: https://a.co/d/5IsvJt5

Thank you for looking into this. Please let me know if you need any additional information.

Kieshi

paulsy101 Passed it on to the team. Will update when I have more news.

paulsy101

Kieshi
Any update? I realize that the ideal is that the firmware is applied via the config.hapticsconnect.com page, but in the interest of moving forward, would you please provide the .bin file? I'll be happy to test applying via the page again once they get it figured out.

Kieshi

paulsy101 still looking into it, will give an update as soon as we test everything

belinconu

I also have the exact same issue.

I understand that you are looking into it, but since I was hoping to enjoy the money I paid, isn't there any way you can simply give out the firmware so I could upload it direct ?

Kieshi

Hi guys, were have deployed a new version, it should fix the issue with timeout error from Windows PC.
Speed of uploading might be a big lower, but it should fix the initial issue.
Please let us know if it did the trick for you

paulsy101

Looks like that worked for me! Thank you!

Kieshi

paulsy101 do you have any feedback on how the firmware is working for you? How do you like it?

paulsy101

The firmware itself worked well for what it is designed, to use with the Haptics Connect app. It did take a little figuring out though. I would recommend updating the uploader page to inform users that they must push a configuration from the Configurator tab after successfully applying the firmware. Also, with the Configurator, I would recommend defaulting to BLE as the Active Input, as that is what the Haptics Connect app uses to connect to the device.

Once I had the firmware flashed and I pushed the BLE configuration, I was able to get Haptics Connect to control my OSR2+ for the stroke axis and adjust the speed and range from the Manual section of the app. Unfortunately I don't have a sex toy scripts subscription (more on that later), and SLR doesn't have a demo to test scripts on their site (see this post) I was not able to test it out from SLR with an actual scripted scene.

I pushed a configuration to this firmware with Serial as the Active Input and was able to control my OSR2+ using the serial connection method on Ayva Stoker Lite . There it was able to control the stroke, roll, pitch, and twist axes successfully.

The site to update the firmware is nice, but doesn't seem to match the proper audience. It is my opinion that the vast majority of users of the OSR2, SR6, or SSR1 are going to be fairly tech savvy and not really need to have a site update the firmware for them.

Overall, the firmware is serviceable and is a good step in the right direction, and will hopefully pave the way for the future. But ultimately, I have gone back to the TCode_ESP32_Release_v0.3b firmware I was using previously for a few reasons:

Multiple "Active Inputs" from one configuration - With the v0.3b firmware, I can use serial or websocket to control my OSR2+ without having to push a new configuration depending on the connection type I want to use.
Direct web interface of the OSR2+ - With the v0.3b firmware, I can go to the IP address it is assigned and make changes directly without having to connect serially, go to the hapticsconnect.com site, and push a new config. Additionally, the Haptics Connect firmware is missing vibe and iLube configs I am considering adding, and doesn't seem to have surge and sway configs should I decide to upgrade to an SR6.
Lack of Multi-Axis scripts on SLR - A big reason I decided to build an OSR2+ is for the multi-axis capabilities. If I just wanted the stroke axis, I could have saved some money and just gotten a Handy. I'm still new to the OSR2+ and learning, but so far I've found that using MultiFunPlayer I can add patterns or randomness to the other axes if a script doesn't include them. From looking at the Haptics Connect interface, it doesn't appear that is available. So with only 1 multi-axis scene available on SLR, I cannot justify the added cost for a sex toy script subscription.
