Wago Adapter

The Wago Adapter is a cheap way to turn most dumb 5V vibrators into smart ones.

The VibHub Wago adapter is a little bare circuit adapter that lets you convert most dumb 5V vibrators into smart ones by cutting and stripping the cable.

Basic Use

First off you need a vibrator that's capable. Check the Compatible Toys page for more info!

In this tutorial, we'll be using a common 2-in-one vibrator from AliExpress. At the time of writing, these sell for like $4 per pair, so they're almost cheap enough to be considered disposable. A cheap egg vibrator is a good starting point in case you don't know what you're doing. But connecting a simple wire-remote device to a VibHub is very easy.

Before you begin, please note that the process is destructive, as you'll be cutting the cord! Don't convert a vibrator if you want to restore it at a later date!

Also note that you can do one vibrator per adapter, don't cram multiple cords in there!

Example of a cheap vibrator that can be used.

Step 1: Cut the cord. You want a lead connected directly to the vibrator!

Step 2: Split and strip a bit at the end of the cord to expose some copper. 5mm (0.2") is enough.

Step 3: Press down on the "button" on top and slide the cable in. If you give it a gentle tug after, and it doesn't release, you're good! Note: The polarity of the wires doesn't matter, you can attach them in any order!

Step 4: Repeat with the other wire.

Step 5: Do the same with the other vibrator if you wish, but that's it! You're done!
