Cayde-6 cosplay
Lighting test for my upcoming Destiny Cayde-6 cosplay.
Eyes are powered by fiber optic end-glow strands connected to Neopixel LED rings. Whole eye rig is run off an AdaFruit Flora microcontroller.
Jaw light is a flexible LED light tube triggered by a recessed pressure switch in the lower jaw.

The eyes make him look really surprised.
gridpassion
Working on it!

It might be a little more complicated, but if you stick a microphone in there and have the jaw lights be activated by your voice volume...
gridpassion
I thought about it, Adafruit does sell a sound detector switch? It ended up seeming far too cumbersome for what I needed.
gridpassion
Also, it runs the risk of being triggered by exterior noise, too. Which was kind of a deal breaker for me.

How do you see while wearing it?
gridpassion
Apertures in the eye centers are a solid tube up to just in front of my eyes. Let's LED light out, and vision in. Surprisingly good vision!
MrStickyCheeks
Nathan Fillion better be under that mask.

I was hoping for a dog cosplaying as a chicken but this will suffice +1

In this video the eye brightness seems kinda high. Maybe use electroluminescent (EL) wire?
gridpassion
EL wire has that awful inverter whine. I wouldn't be able to to stand it haha.
gridpassion
The rig is powered by a microcontroller that allows for you to set brightness on the LEDs. This is max brightness, but I'll tone it down.
Ginocide
Ah, those are both issues I thought about with regards to EL. I do really like the soft glow it makes but it's troublesome to wire into >
Ginocide
other systems and the whine is grating.
EliMFrost
Any way to make them blink?
gridpassion
It's less apparent in this gif, but they actually do blink a few times. That's what the microcontroller is controlling, a random blink cycle
EliMFrost
Ahh cool, man that helmet is so cool, one more question for you, I know it must be a pain to open your mouth all the way to get the helmets
EliMFrost
To look right, any way to make a lever so you move your mouth a little, but more in the helmet? And still be comfortable
gridpassion
There's a slightly different type of hinge, sort of like a pair of scissors? That I thought about using to get the mouth to open wider.
gridpassion
But the only problem is that it would be need to extend out of the back of the helmet to provide the needed angle of lift.
