Daft Punk Halloween Costume, my helmet

I started the concept of this creation back in February of 2009 after driving 10 hours and listening to the ALIVE 2007 CD.

The marquee design by NERDKITS is how I wired my LED lights.

I used an Arduino board for the coding (I went to a MEGA for the additional outputs and larger storage for the code. I'm not a great code-writer and so the code used for this helmet is Cave-man'esque.)

If anyone wants information on how I did this, don't hesitate to contact me - I'd love to see improvements on my design. I'd also appreciate any feedback.

Thanks again to Celeryman22 and his whole family for allowing me to use his talents in fabricating the helmet.

you can see through the lights right? im hoping to have the same setup, can you tell me what the lighting is called?

@Collinthecruel

totally! Seeing through the lights is there - just tricky sometimes when you're in a crowded area.

Lighting is LEDs.

how did you put the leds in it and how do you see out of it ?????

[TheNinety99]

@destroyallhumans130

drilled holes through the plastic and glued them in place.

You look right past the lights no problem.

I gotta make one of these.

The LED screen I could do no sweat, I've already made LED matrix displays.

But what method did you use to actually make the helmet?

And how did you make it look chrome?
