RPI Haptics:Vibrobyte Transmitter
From BluWiki
The Vibrobyte transmitter runs on an Arduino wearing the Radios, Inc. MTX-103 shield. A further description is contained in the code itself.

/*
A controller (host computer) sends 3-byte packets
to the transmitter, which then repeats them to a
receiver. When the transmitter is not receiving any
data from the host it transmits the null packet,
which may be used by the receiver for syncing to
the transmitter.
The host may transmit at any baud rate, but if it
exceeds the baud rate of the transmitter for anything
but short bursts, the serial buffer of the transmitter
will get full and start dropping packets.
