Buttplug

Rust implementation of the Buttplug Intimate Hardware Protocol, including implementations of the client and server.

If you are new to Buttplug, you most likely want to start with the Buttplug Website or the Buttplug Core Repo.

For a demo of what this framework can do, check out this demo video.

The Rust code in this repo is currently quite stale, though we're hoping to update it soon. Our C# and Typescript/JS/Node implementations are the most complete for the moment. Rust got hung up on lack of windows bluetooth capabilities, but that may be resolved soon.

Introduction

Buttplug is a framework for hooking up hardware to interfaces, where hardware usually means sex toys, but could honestly be just about anything. It's basically a userland HID manager for things that may not specifically be HID.

In more concrete terms, think of Buttplug as something like osculator or VRPN, but for sex toys. Instead of wiimotes and control surfaces, we interface with vibrators, electrostim equipment, fucking machines, and other hardware that can communicate with computers.

The core of buttplug works as a router. It is a Rust based application that connects to libraries that registers and communicates with different hardware. Clients can then connect over websockets or network ports, to claim and interact with the hardware.
