A compact and reduced cost signal generator with variable frequency is presented in this work. It is programmed through serial communication, with application in systems of real time training for hearing impaired people with vibrotactile feedback. This signal generator was developed in order to correct delays caused by digitalization and voice signal processing in real time applications. Using an external generator, one separates the action or signal generation, to be applied in the tactile or vibrotactile actuator, from the acquisition and voice signal processing part.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
