NeoPixel 60 Pixel Ring Sci-Fi Visor
Description
I Finally Decided On Something To Make With Adafruit'S 60 Pixel Rings I Bought A While Ago. Designed Over A Weekend. Made To Fit Over Glasses! Added A New Half Piece For Smaller Print Beds, Or Beds That Don'T Handle Big Prints Well. This Is A Very Simple Build! Takes Less Than An Hour To Print, Next To No Touch-Ups Are Needed. Just Add The Neopixel Rings And An Arduino And Your Good To Go! Some Simple Soldering Required. Https://Www.Youtube.Com/Watch?V=Locigupjd60 This Project Has An Optional Addition Of An Encoder To The Arduino Which Lets You Change The Speed And Brightness Of The Visor On The Fly. I Measured The Current Of The Default Speed/Brightness To Be About 150 Ma, So Most Batteries Will Last A Long Time With This. Build Materials: - 2 X Small Rubber Bands - 4 X Neopixel 1/4 60 Ring (Https://Www.Adafruit.Com/Products/1768) - 1 X 3D Printed White Plastic Visor - 1 X Portable Battery-Pack Or Mintyboost Pack - 1 X Micro-Controller, I Am Using A Teensy 2.0 - 1 X Adjustable Eyeglass Strap (Http://Www.Amazon.Com/Chums-Universal-Eyewear-Retainer-Black/Dp/B003Cjse5O) - 8-10 X Small Zip-Ties - 1 X Perma-Proto Quarter-Sized Breadboard Pcb (Https://Www.Adafruit.Com/Products/1608) Optional: - 1 X Rotary Encoder W/ Push In Button (Https://Www.Adafruit.Com/Product/377) - 1 X 3D Printed Rotary Encoder Knob (Http://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:51020) Total Cost Is About $100 If You Are Buying Everything From Scratch.
