Integrating all the pieces into one test platform. The test could be to move a collection of physically-based spheres (easy collision detect) from one area to another. Time would be recorded from the indication of a start and stop (spacebar, something in the sim, etc). Variations would be:

• Open loop: Measure position and pressure, but no feedback
• Force Feedback (Phantom) only
• Vibrotactile feedback only
• Both feedbacks

Probably only use two actuators for the simplicity of the test rig. It would bean that I could use the laptop’s headphone output. Need to test this by wiring up the actuators to a micro stereo plug. Radio Shack tonight.

Got two-way communication running between Phantom and sim.

Have force magnitude adjusting a volume.

Added a SimpleSphere class for most of the testing.
