Hi list, I am sending this to the list as some may be interested in purchasing the Tactile VU Meter. It is a device about the size of a pack of smokes. You can calibrate it to vibrate when the signal fed to it exceeds a set point, thus alerting, tactually, when a desired level is reached.
Mention is made of a schematic one can use to make their own if one wants. This person is willing to manufacture several if desired. The price will be determined by the number of units to make. Please read below and familiarize your self with the email's he and I traded on this topic. (snip) I enquired about a product called the Tactile VU Meter. Below is the series of emails between myself and Robert Armstrong, who is the person offering to make them. (snip) To whom it may concern, I belong to a group of blind musicians and am contacting you to learn how individuals of our group may purchase the Tactile VU Meter. Please email me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] to let me know. Thanks for your time and help. Kevin Doucet (snip) From: Robert Armstrong Subject: RE: Tactile VU Meter! I'm sorry to say that we don't really manufacture the tactile VU meter. In four or five years I think we've only made three or four, and that's counting the first one that I made for my wife. Depending on how many you want, there are a couple of options * If you want just one or two, then I'm willing to make them for you in my spare time, but it might take a few months. If you have a friend who can build one, or if you can do it yourself (don't laugh - I know blind people who can solder!) then you're always welcome to assemble your own using the schematic and information on the web page. * If you want a bunch, where "a bunch" is ten, twenty, or more, then we can talk about a special manufacturing run. We could even talk about designing a new one - frankly, if I was going to do it again I'd do a lot of things differently. Bob Armstrong (snip) From: Kevin Doucet Subject: RE: Tactile VU Meter! Hi Bob, Do I have your permission to share this with the emailing list I belong to of blind musicians? You could get good feedback on features. Kevin Doucet (snip) Sure, absolutely. The more people who get together to buy one, the better deal we can get. Bob Kevin Doucet (snip) If any one wants to be included on a list so we will know the number of units to be manufactured, please contact me, "off list", and give me your name and email address in the body of the message and I will add you to the list. If any one wants to contact Robert Armstrong with input on a design or feature set, he can be contacted at; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks.
