v0.2 of my edging controller is done (with results)
I've been building an edging machine for the last couple of months. It's a Hitachi wand plugged into a cheap Tuya wifi smart plug, with a python/flask app on my home server that I control from my phone. The wand is mounted to a weighted box (lots of dead batteries in it - it's really heavy) with a silicone cock attachment so I can just lie down and my cock slides right into it (pic #4), which took a few tries to get right. The app pulses the wand on and off, and when I get close I hit a button on my phone and it cuts power and holds off for a while before starting again. Everything gets logged to sqlite, every single on/off pulse, how long each edge took, when I hit the button, what settings were enabled at the time.
It started out as basically a random on/off timer, which really wasn't much better than flipping the switch myself. Now it actually learns. It uses every previous session to analyse how long the pause after an edge should be, and adjusts on the fly based on how fast the edges are coming - if they're coming quick it backs off longer, if I'm taking forever (I'm 58 years old, so it's possible that I can get soft in the middle of the session or just begin to lose interest, lame, I know, but it happens) it pushes harder. (Pics #1 and #2 screenshots of the UI) there's a more/less button for when I feel like I need the pulses to last longer or shorter and separate buttons to end a session depending on whether I came, tapped out, got interrupted or lost my erection for some other reason, because those mean completely different things to the learning side of it. It also throws in the occasional longer burst or extra pause at random, because I found that a steady predictable rhythm gets boring sometimes. I love it when it's on, and then turns off just long enough for me to relax and catch my breath and my mind begins to wander for like 1/2 of a second and when it turns on again, I flip back into "holy shit I'm being vibrated" mode - muscles tensed, etc.. It draws charts afterward (pic #3) so I can see what actually happened instead of guessing (my brain is pretty foggy during the edging session and just pressing the "I'm close" button is difficult enough for me sometimes, much less trying to remember which edges were faster/easier than others).
The end goal is for the app to run the whole show - get me up to where the edges are happening under a minute apart, then keep me there and see how long it can keep me desperate before I break. Right now it's still too merciful, but it's learning. There's even a "me simulator" which should be able to simulate thousands of edging sessions using my actual stats, so the app can learn how to "play my body like a fiddle" after enough sessions. I told the AI that's helping me write the app, that if I orgasm, that's a fail. If I tap-out, that's a win. So, over time, the app should get better and better at keeping me edging over and over. I think that my record is like 12-ish edges now. Going for 20 or more in one session.
Since there's only really one input "the I'm close" button in the app, I've ordered a 60Ghz human vitals sensor (it's a proximity sensor that is so accurate that it can measure a person's heartbeat and breathing rate (the heartbeat of a person makes the skin of the body just slightly closer to the sensor for a fraction of a second (slower for breathing), but the sensor ($35-ish on AliExpress) is smart enough to just return heartbeat and breathing stats), so maybe a little bit down the road, I'll add that as two other inputs for the app to measure my body vitals during the edging session.
