Buttplug Protocol Implementation - C# .Net Standard/Framework

Build Status codecov NuGet

Patreon donate button Discourse Forum Discord Twitter

Buttplug is a framework for hooking up hardware to interfaces, where hardware usually means sex toys, but could honestly be just about anything. Think of it as a userland HID manager for things that may not specifically be HID, but may go in your butt.

Or other places too! We're not completely butt-centric, despite the project name. And logo.

If you're looking for the installer for the Buttplug Server or Game Vibration Router software, visit the buttplug-windows-suite releases page.

Installation

Packages and libraries from the buttplug-csharp repo are available via nuget. Simply run a search for "buttplug", or follow this link to the nuget "buttplug" search.

Development Branches

There are 2 main branches:

  • master - The current release code for the library
  • dev - The current development code for the library

When submitting patches, they should be based on the current state of the dev branch, and should use dev as their target. The master branch is kept synced to release so our documentation matches expectations.

Compiling

The project should compile with Visual Studio 2017, Visual Studio on Mac (.Net Standard projects only), or Mono on linux (.Net Standard projects only).

Note that for building using Visual Studio on Windows 7/8/10, the project requires the Windows 10 SDK to be installed.

Note that some of the Windows 10 SDK links in the UWP Bluetooth Manager project are hard-linked to the C:\ drive. If your program files and SDKs are not on your C: drive, you may need to readjust these paths by hand.

Client Software

Buttplug programs including

  • Buttplug Server
  • Game Vibration Router

have moved to the Buttplug Windows Suite Repo. To download the installer for these applications, visit the releases page for that repo.
