Instructions

  • Take the two wires of a vibration motor and wrap each in a small piece of tape
  • Peel the backing off the vibration motor and stick in the middle of the long side of a foam block.
  • Split the two wires apart and orientate the wires so they run along the centre of one of the long sides of the block
  • Wrap two parallel rows of conductive tape all the way around the foam block and over the top of the wires of the vibration motor.
  • Make sure that the two rows of tape are about 1cm apart and do not touch each other.
