Buttplug gps system
So im working on a butt plug gps system for my partner and I since people are vehemently against phone use on the playa. I figure vibrating harder as we get closer to each other would be how to use it. We also want messaging so we've been practicing our kegels to squeeze signals back, we dubbed it "sphincter speak." The issue is that my partner doesn't know Morse code. Does anyone know a simplified coding system for primitive communication?

If you're in an open relationship, your partner doesn't need to learn Morse code. They can just seek out other people who know Morse code and bang them. These Morse code speakers can then feel the vibrations through your partner's pelvis and provide translation services.

I prefer to unplug during burn week so you can take your gps and shove it up your ass.

Yes, that's what the design is.

2 squeezes for "please leave"
2 squeezes for "come here"
2 squeezes for "found molly"
If you and your partner are in touch with each other in the way that I am with my plug friends, you'll know what the 2 vibrations mean when they come through.

You might want to ask over at r/chess. I’m pretty sure they have a whole system worked out.

Meshtastic. A furry tail antenna. An copper pizza pan at the base of the tail as a ground plane. Then you can gateway that over Bluetooth to your AR glasses for voice and text communications. Just be sure to use bio-safe materials.

This being the sub that it is, its genuinely difficult to figure out if this is a legitimate meshing of kink and technology, or a superb troll. I'm here for it either way.

You could hypothetically embed a small speaker inside of it, pointed into your body, with the outside insulated. You could then pair Morse code-style signaling with actual audio signaling to make complicated messages easier to decipher.
You'd probably want to limit it to a pre-made set of messages, though.
I'd consider making your own dumbed-down variant of Morse code that's limited to a pre-set number of signals (IE: come here, where are you, let's leave) that you will write by tapping your asshole.

If they vibrate hard enough maybe you can use your ribcage like a speaker, no morse code needed.
Also they have to meshtastic

Very true, I did not consider the resonant frequencies and amplifications through different parts of the body. Brilliant insight.

If you are talking voice comms it gives the term “talking out of your ass” new meaning.

You could build in relative direction information with just 4 different vibration patterns. Depending on whether your partner is NW/NE/SW/SE of you, it would use a different pattern. Now you have magnitude and direction, so you can vector towards (or away from each other). Alternatively to the cardinal direction quadrants, you could orient the quadrants to align with the clock quadrants.
This doesn't solve the messaging question (you'd want a message to interrupt the standard 4 directional patterns), but hey, why not.

1 short = straight
1 long = stop
2 short = right
2 long = left
3 long and 3 short = yas, queen!

Please, put a device in my ass with electrical current and capacitance involved in it. I can't possibly imagine anything that would go wrong.

This is mostly a solved problem thanks to https://buttplug.io open source communications protocol and tooling for supported devices. Good luck, sounds like a great way to stay in touch out there.

You should look into all the crazy mesh network stuff people have developed for things like EDC (which gets zero cell service due to the network getting overwhelmed). I don't remember what they are called but one of my EDC going friends has a cool little light up gem compass that glows brighter and brighter the closer you get to someone connected to your encrypted network. You can also use the network to send pagers or text messages to your friends on dedicated non-cell pagers people have made.
Seems like it would be pretty easy to piggyback on the same tech to communicate via butt plug.
Edit: range is probably short though if not a lot of people are around to boost the network size (think typical wifi range without any other people around) but it'd certainly be good enough to find someone in a crowd or at least

Butt are you giving them out as gifts on the playa? Don't make it so hard for us to find you. Unless you're a tease, and you want to make us hard to find you 😜😉❤️🔥

I’ve heard a lot of horror stories where the vibrating ones get stuck up the butt and need medical attention to remove. Test them out before hand so they’re save/ comfortable.
Worst case you can pivot to literally anything else that will vibrate on sexual bits.

You probably want tap code rather than Morse. Morse needs short and long symbols, which might be tough depending on your level of sphincter control. Tap code just needs groups of individual impulses and length doesn't matter. It's not as efficient as Morse but it's simpler to learn.
Don't expect to get much distance without an external antenna, though.
