Overwatch Lúcio Costume with a Musical, Lighted Prop
Cosplayer Neverending Dreamz did something different for his Overwatch Lúcio costume. He leveled up the prop gun with lighting and sound — that special touch is on top of all the hours and work he put into making Lúcio’s armor. He estimates he spent 340 hours to complete the costume. He says about the prop gun:
Its being powered by a custom battery. the gun is actually a 8 inch sub woofer with two 4 inch speakers on the side. They are being run through a amp and is blue toothed to my phone! The Leds go to the music from my gun and everything, It even made the shirt, the pants, the belt, everything!
You can watch a video showing off the sounds and lights at Facebook.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
