To those asking about size, a headphone jack would be a good comparison. Just under half the length, and just slightly thinner around. Excited to hear more about these!

interesting. Sounds like a decent way to learn at any rate.

'Right now I would guess that there are about 2000 people in the world that have every written a program for a super computer' I find that really hard to believe, considering we have 3 super computers on campus and I personally know 5 people that use it daily....Plus all the crazy bitcoin ops from the past few years. At…

Clip of the Mythbusters making magnets to climb a wall: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LovGVrrIuk Like others said, it would need huge magnets and be pretty painful.

Congrats!

Left hand middle and pinky. If you look at the images, they are slightly off to the side from the pad. Good luck man! http://discuss.biohack.me/discussion/344/magnets-are-finally-in#Item_3

No way! I really miss my old laptop, mostly because I could feel the heartbeat! Nothing like ramping up that processor and knowing how hard it's working because you feel the fan spinning! You can also sense the hard drive spinning, though that really varies from drive to drive. It's not annoying. It's kinda like vibrating…

As a programmer, and someone who plays saxophone/bass guitar/piano, I can tell you that you have nothing to worry about with the finger tip. Yeah, you can accidentally put your laptop to sleep by going over the sensor...but seriously, take a second and find it with another magnet. Generally its off the the side and top of…

Just a note, that Ferrofluid doesn't work with my magnets. That said mine are the 3mmx.7mm from the group buy a while back.

Oh yeah, sorry I forgot to bring up scripture or invoke satan. My bad.

Well yes and no, there has been propositions that RFID implants could be used as credit cards/medical information trackers...This is a seriously bad idea-if it became widespread. Have you ever seen a touch/tap to pay credit card? Those are hilariously easy to read without your knowledge. All it takes is a cell phone sized…

RE: Side by side magnets, don't put them in the same finger. They may pull together and rub, and that could weaken the coating.
-
Make sure your tool to insert the magnet is not magnetic! A metal scalpel may stick to the magnet, which would be a pain in the ass. The only thing I would add to your list is a decent size, sterile magnet. That way if you can't get it far enough in the pocket you can use the magnet, or if you need to get it out for some…

I have VP 782N-3 Magnetic Tumble Stir Disc, parylene coated implanted. I am also allergic to nickel. From what I understand, most nickel allergies you aren't actually allergic to nickel, your body produces a compound in your sweat that breaks it down. When it gets broken down it gets stuck to your skin which will leave a…

There's a common theme here, that any wearable tech designed to work with a magnet could work with a vibrating motor just as well. Potentially you can feel a little bit more with a magnet but not enough to justify putting in a magnet just for the sensation. Along with that comes the issue that magnets aren't going to work…

Piercer at a local shop charged $30 per magnet implanted, I bought them in a group buy here for like $25 (10+shipping). Professional guy, clean room, tattoo shop that has 6 stores in the area. I'll note that every other tattoo shop in the area refused, and that chain only had one guy willing (or that they would allow…

It is actually super easy to steal RFID credit cards: http://www.forbes.com/sites/andygreenberg/2012/01/30/hackers-demo-shows-how-easily-credit-cards-can-be-read-through-clothes-and-wallets/ $350 of equipment is all it takes...Glad none of my cards are RFID...

I think isopropyl is the correct way. You can actually autoclave parylene, but it will degrade the magnets strength so don't use heat. One important step, put the magnets in a shot glass (seperately). Shake off the bubble they get floating down. If they make another bubble, the coating is bad so don't use it. Mine are in…

You can also put them off of the pad of the finger...that's where mine are. http://discuss.biohack.me/discussion/comment/2977#Comment_2977 I type a ton and play sax/bass guitar and haven't had any issues with mine. The level of feeling is just as I expected, though the ability to pick things up isn't as great as others…

#builds a minor chord def Minor_Build(chan, noteval, chtype, velval, lenval): midi.update_time(0) midi.note_on(channel = chan, note = noteval + 3, velocity = velval) midi.update_time(0) midi.note_on(channel = chan, note = noteval + 7, velocity = velval) #above, regular minor, below minor 7th if chtype == 1 or chtype == 3…
-
Notes: * channel is the instrument type * noteval is the starting note value * chtype determines what chord will be used * velval is volume * lenval is duration length * Major chords sound pretty (think happy music) * Minor chords sound chaotic (think the music that plays when a bad guy shows up) * Diminished chords are…

Like I said before, I think it's all in how much fidelity your want. Swimming in open waters and have a shark sensor? You probably want something really obvious like the jaws theme. You probably don't want a constant playing of the theme at quiet levels when a shark isn't nearby. But how often will you care about a…
-
I guess it depends on the fidelity you're looking for. In your example, he only is doing colors and is looking to completely replace his ability to see colors. In mine your trying to determine multiple sensor values quickly. They have completely different use cases. Take Geiger Counters vs radiation alert badges. One lets…
-
I you use a midi library, you could use a variety of instruments to determine the sensor reporting. IE: magnetic field = bass drum. Running at a steady tempo, and it gets lower/higher as the field changes. Radiation = symbol. longer notes mean higher amounts of radiation. Light = piano. higher keys = brighter; lower =…

For Android- Android Sensor Box Mine can pick up the magnet in a ~2cm sphere around the top left corner (Note 2). It does an ok job at detecting how far away the magnet is.

What you want is a hall effect sensor.. There were a few people experimenting with hall effect sensors and aurdinos last time I checked, but there were some issues with sensitivity. They may have worked out the kinks by now..and it seems they did: http://playground.arduino.cc/Code/HallEffect…
-
(proposed answer, never had to do this myself) 1. Find a strong magnet. Use it to locate your implant. 2. Depending on the coating material, your magnet may have bonded with your tissue. Use the strong magnet to try and flip over the magnet in your skin to break these bonds. It'll probably hurt if it does flip over. 3.…

The costs were all social stigmata. If you are in America, go tell your neighbor that you follow the grinder faith-then tell your other neighbor you're a god fearing christian. I almost guarantee the second neighbor will be more friendly to you in the future. /agree with @glims, I don't mean to dissuade your efforts, just…
