The Mod is Comingle’s flagship Multivibrating Open-source Dildo. First and foremost, it’s a great vibrator, but it is also so much more.

The Mod's software platform lets you easily create vibration patterns, connect sensors and controllers, and completely customize how your Mod behaves. You can upload new programs to it straight from our website (no programming knowledge required!). If you want to dig a little deeper, you can use our software library to create custom patterns controlled by almost anything you can imagine. Advanced hackers will find that everything is fully documented, giving you full control to build and contribute your own unique experiences from scratch.

The Vibrator

As a vibrator, the Mod can compete with some of the most popular toys on the market.

Motors

• Patterns: Three motors can simulate movement; provide hi-fidelity, focused stimulation; and create opportunities for other couplings of input and output.

• Power and Frequency: Using multiple small motors also gives you control over a broader range of powers and frequencies. Combining the outputs of different motors generates the nice, low-frequency (rumbly) vibrations usually only found in larger devices.

Controllers

We’ve already been having tons of fun hooking up dozens of different controllers to the Mod, and your Mod will come with a Wii Nunchuk that gives you some cool fun ways to directly control the motors.

Here are just a few of the other things we’ve already built to control the Mod:

• Integrated Button: It has a mode button on the handle that you can use to change patterns, or trigger individual motors. Instructions on our website make it easy to change the button behavior.

• Nunchuck: A standard, simple, and powerful control for the toy. The joystick can manipulate power and pulsing patterns. Shaking the nunchuck's accelerometer can modulate the frequency of the vibrations. To fulfill one major request from Beta testers, we also programmed the "C" button as an easy "kill switch" to shut the toy off right when you come!

• Video chat: We process the image coming from a webcam. The more movement in the image, the more intense the Mod’s response.

• Capacitive Touch Sensing: Quickly and easily turn most objects in the world into Touch-sensitive interfaces for pleasure (ever heard of a Makey-Makey? It's like that!). Trigger your partner's toy by sucking on a Banana, or spanking them with a spatula. Connect a body peircing and turn your partner's whole body into a touchable controller for the dildo. Many objects can even by used like a Theremin, giving a response by just getting near them.

• Biometrics: A heartbeat sensor lets you feel your partner’s arousal in the throbbing toy.

• Web: We've made interfaces built directly within a browser from the serial API. Great for cyber sex, or giving web-geeks a quick way to control their toys!

• Soft circuits: A soft stroke sensor that triggers vibrations based on touch. Could be really cool embedded in the tail of a fur suit!

We plan to offer a variety of easy-to-use accessories that plug directly in to the Mod so you won't need electronics skills or supplies to play with fun sensors. What will you build?

Materials

We use 100% body-safe platinum cure silicone for the Mod. Since we are committed to open-source, we’ll always give you as much information as possible so that you can verify the properties of all the materials we use. We currently use Smooth-On’s Sorta Clear and Dragon Skin silicones to make our Mods and will require all of our manufacturing partners to be transparent about their materials.

Battery

The Mod comes with an 875 mAh battery and is recharged with a USB micro cable (same as your Android phone). Just connect it to a computer or a phone charger. Battery life will depend on your particular setup (power draw of any connected accessories, vibration pattern and intensity), but should last several hours of "typical" use.

Dilduino Platform and OSSex Library

The Mod is controlled by a custom, Arduino-based microcontroller platform called the Dilduino. Since it’s just an Arduino, you can quickly reprogram it using the standard USB micro port. You can also hook-up any sensor to the “Hacker Port” with a normal USB cable.

Dilduino

The Dilduino is a great step forward for small Arduino derivatives. It has many built in features that are often lacking in many microcontrollers designed for embedded devices:

• On-board battery charging: A battery charging circuit makes it easy to connect a Li-ion battery and recharge it over USB.

• Integrated Motor driver: The basic output pins on an Arduino are limited to 40 mA of current, which is not nearly enough for really powerful motors. Typically, you would have to connect an external motor-driver circuit to deliver the full power to your vibes, but we built these features directly into the board. Now you can connect up to 500mA per motor channel.

• I2C, Analog Inputs, PWM output, and Serial I/O: Our “Hacker Port” is the quickest, most flexible way to incorporate a variety of peripherals in your project. One standard USB port provides regulated 3.3V power and software-switchable pins for Analog, I2C/Two-Wire, or Serial sensors. It also features two PWM output channels in case you want to attach additional motors or lights.
