APIs
One SDK, two languages
Native access to haptics, motion capture and biometry on the Suit and Glove. The C API is the core library; Python is a first-class binding over it — same devices, same concepts, same assets.
from teslasuit_sdk import ts_api
from teslasuit_sdk.ts_mapper import TsBone2dIndex
api = ts_api.TsApi()
device = api.get_device_manager().get_or_wait_last_device_attached()
player, mapper = device.haptic, api.mapper
layout = mapper.get_haptic_electric_channel_layout(device.get_mapping())
bones = mapper.get_layout_bones(layout)
channels = mapper.get_bone_contents(bones[TsBone2dIndex.RightUpperArm.value])
params = player.create_touch_parameters(10000, 40, 120) # period µs (10000 = 100 Hz)
player.play_playable(player.create_touch(params, channels, 3000))Pick your language

C APINative
Lowest latency and full control — the library every other surface is built on.
Body & channel map
The real TeslasuitXR5 mapping, unwrapped — front on the left, back on the right, all 80 channels in place. Click a channel (or a muscle group on the EMS layer) to get the exact create_touch() call that drives it.
Right upper arm

Safety: Calibrate the device in Control Center before running any stimulation. Start with low amplitude and short duration; stop immediately if anything feels wrong.
# Right upper arm · channel 1 (front) → TsBone2dIndex.RightUpperArm
channels = mapper.get_bone_contents(bones[TsBone2dIndex.RightUpperArm.value]) # 7 channels on this bone
channel = channels[0] # the selected channel
params = player.create_touch_parameters(10000, amplitude=40, pulse_width=120) # period in µs (10000 = 100 Hz) · amplitude is a percent (1–100)
playable_id = player.create_touch(params, [channel], duration=3000) # play this one channel for 3000 ms
