Depth control in LoveMachine 2.7
Added 2022-02-20 01:31:53 +0000 UTCHello everynyan, here's what I've been up to lately:
- I designed a depth sensing onahole,
- I integrated that onahole, and another similar device, into LoveMachine.
The devices in question are:
- The Hotdog, my DIY depth sensing toy (the first toy shown in the video),
- The Calor, a new commercial toy by Lovense (the second toy shown in the video).
As to what depth sensing is, I think the following video is self-explanatory:

If the Handy is an output device, then we could call the Hotdog an input device. Like a speaker and a microphone.
PLEASE NOTE - This an experimental feature, for the following reasons:
- This is all really new tech, the Calor came out exactly a month ago.
- For now, I've only added depth control support to Koikatsu Sunshine. I'll do the other games later.
- The depth output of the Calor seems to be laggy as hell, and I can't tell whether it's because of the hardware itself or the makeshift Bluetooth comm layer I wrote.
- B*ttplug doesn't support depth data yet, so we're REALLY ahead of the curve here.
- Even in Sunshine, depth control is turned off by default because it can mess with other Bluetooth/UART peripherals. To turn it on, please go to Plugin Settings > LoveMachine > Experimental Settings, enable the setting for your device, and restart the game.
If, in spite of the previously mentioned issues, you'd like to buy a Calor, you can get one here. I should also mention that the Calor has a vibrator too, and you can connect it to Intiface to use it as such (though you can't use it as a vibrator and depth controller at the same time, at least not yet).
The 3D print files, circuit diagram and firmware for the Hotdog are all available here. I'm going to make a guide that explains how to put it together next week.

LoveMachine 2.7 Installer (yes, we have an installer now, I hope you'll like it)
The ZIP files are still available on the release page, and always will be in case you'd prefer to install it the oldschool way.
Comments
Hi, A couple of things can go wrong with this feature. Here are the more detailed instructions: 1. Make sure you install LoveMachine using the installer (the ZIP does not include the necessary tooling). 2. Do not use Lovense Remote, as it takes control away from LoveMachine. Do not run anything besides KK/KKS. 3. Turn on the Calor before starting the game. 4. Do not use the in-game buttons for insertion and pulling out. The Calor should control everything. 5. After inserting your finger, the characters will move autonomously for a couple of seconds. This is normal and necessary for analyzing the animation. After about 5 seconds, control should be yielded back to the Calor. 6. There are 3 pressure sensors in the Calor. You should reach all the way to the deepest one for there to be any noticeable in-game movement. 7. If depth control fails despite the above measures, please open a Github issue at https://github.com/Sauceke/LoveMachine/issues/new and upload your output_log.txt. You can find it in your game folder.

2022-04-17 16:35:28 +0000 UTCHello I bought Calor and introduced LoveMachine 2.8 I put Lovense Remote in my PC and paired Calor https://imgur.com/ZHr0ePo After that, I set the following with Koikatsu Sunshine and restarted. https://imgur.com/a/1eWoMAX However, when I thrust my finger into Calor in the missionary position, nothing happened. If you made a mistake so far, could you please tell me? By the way, Intiface Desktop is not running

2022-04-17 12:32:08 +0000 UTCThank you! I already started working on the Insult Order plugin. I think I can get it done in a week or two. As for COM3D2, and Natunosakari, it should be possible to onboard them both, but I don't have a timeline for them rn.

2022-02-23 23:57:46 +0000 UTCThat's a great feature, the current parttern of buttplug.io can only support passive move of toys, this make me remind of the toy of COM3D2. Will the next version support insult order and is the plugin also passible to support com3d2?
