For my physical computing class, I was tasked with making an Arduino project based around NeoPixels. I see really cool helmets on Etsy all the time, but they're very expensive. Because of this, I decided to make a helmet using a mixture of 3D-prints, ELA foam, and other materials. I used two NeoPixel rings - a 16-pixel and a 24-pixel.

I wanted to keep the wiring on the Arduino/NeoPixel rings exposed to give more of a cyberpunk feel. In addition, I thought the duct tape could give the feeling that the helmet is made of scraps and was pieced together by someone. The helmet is powered by a 5V battery pack attached on the side and uses an Arduino Uno. The light states change by pressing a button on the side of the helmet.
