Avatar not my original artwork. When I come up with something I'll post it. Pretty sure this is supposed to be some form of techpriest.

  • I get what you're saying now. I suppose you could seriously worry about rupturing the bioproofing of a magnet this way. You might want to invest in the fingernail alternative. There's a discussion on it somewhere...
  • @Jackthetripper : What I was really considering was that of all your fingers wouldn't your pinky be the least traumatized, or are you saying you are actually hyperextending individual fingers for breaking bricks with one finger at a time, conditioning each one separately? What I am imagining is you have your fingers…
  • Applied also for testing. However, I AM able to pick up programming languages fairly quickly given a small amount of tinkering, and I really want to contribute more: once I see a need or someone pointing me in the right direction I'd like to pick up a skill related to this hobby specifically to contribute to the community.
  • @Jackthetripper: what if you put it in your pinky? How much of the force of your conditioning does your pinky really undergo?
  • Ladies and gentlemen, biohacking's own mad scientist^
  • I would tend to agree. There are so many reasons Facebook makes for a terrible place to spend your online presence.
  • And a linkdump thread would help me find that facebook page, because I have searched "biohack" and the link takes me here!
  • Pardon the bad spelling. Good god this tablet is terrible.
  • XD. I intends to at least mark down very subtle guides for my implants.
  • Suggestion! A linkdump thread, with blogs, articles, and other online materials. Sort of like the planned resource library but more informal and with more unprofessional things like blogs (like Evolution by Proxy and the videos done by other grinders).
  • Well the minute I learned about that I googled "home made tattoos". It's not like it would need to be complex, after all.
  • And I suppose magnetic pieces that are just larger than the capillaries are probably too large to prevent air in the container, is that correct? I suppose if it was set in a vacuum - I am proposing this as a huge theoretical obviously. I think this is the kind of thing that you'd need equipment to produce. So it's just a…
  • OKAY given my recent discussions in IRC I have a bit of a different plan for I/O that doesn't directly involve RFID. However I do have a query that is somewhat relevant: since transdermals are still iffy and I don't want anything sticking out just yet, I was wondering if it would be possible to use RFID as an example and…
  • Given the pricetag I'll probably go with some kind of high tensile wire then XD
  • And as for any progress I've made: none at all... I'm about to implant my first magnets next month sometime, and after that I'll start putting together the project because the school semester will also be over.
  • I like your attitude.
  • Well I'm still formulating it. My original plan was to use multiple RFID chips + a reader until it was pointed out to me that RFID readers use a lot of power, and I was convinced a simpler setup with wires would work better. It's basically an implanted keypad designed to signal to an external CPU such as a smartphone... it…
  • In the US everyone needs a damn license for everything so it's my knee-jerk reaction to any unknown quantity introduced into a business.
  • Theoretical concept: what about a magnetic powder contained in a bioproofed container that was highly resistant to strain? If it's packed to the brim there wouldn't be an "air bubble" issue, and it cuold potentially solve the impact trauma fears. This is obviously something of a far-fetched dream but still.
  • Who would ink it exactly? Would a tattoo artist need a special license? I am assuming it would cost extra. Also would DIY conductive tattoos be out of the question? Wiring yourself up (as in your post in the other thread)?
  • If it was even able to carry a "1" signal a couple feet I'd would so use it for my I/O project.
  • Are you talking wiring between implants and implant modules? I know there are already similar implants in the form of 3D bodymodding, for cosmetic appearance. A wire that is threaded through the skin. Would the normal plastic or rubber used for insulation of wires suffice here as bioproofing, or what was the general plan…
  • Alright then, I assumed aluminum would be bad, and that's good to know that the skin doesn't change the signal much; I was worried about botching basic testing. I would love it if you directed me to any information or materials such as that, and I'd file them away in a folder for use when I get up to the technical level of…
  • If I may ask, what do you intend to use the module you're designing for? It sounds a lot cooler than my idea ;D
  • Incidentally, say I have a theoretical array of RFID chips implanted into an area and they happen to be too close to each other, such that any reader I put near the intended chip has a chance or tendency to stimulate and pick up a signal from one of the other chips. Now, a shitty ASCII diagram: V || || ||o o o o Let's cal…
  • Also if I may, the ultimate plan is to communicate with a smartphone wirelessly rather than an implant, which is a hurdle I'll come to when I design the RFID reader/relay combo, however you want to describe it. The reason for a smartphone is that until I am say older and wealthily successful, I don't expect to be able to…
  • What I'm mostly interested in is a direct input controller scenario moreso than anything that would be automatic or difficult for me to have a precise influence over.
  • @Ian@ThomasEgi Thanks for the link and the offer. I'll take a look at them sometime and start to piece together what I want to do with this. I need to actually figure out what I'm doing first and that is going to take some googling and research and discussion with my engineering-major friend. Briefly though, I realized…
  • Oh excellent! I'll look into that article on I've of the threads I bookmarked. What of this haptics category then?
