Even when you’re familiar with advanced cosplay techniques for complex builds, you can’t go wrong with the basics. Kamui Cosplay is working on a cyborg costume for an event and used the tried and true duct tape patterning method to make the top for the armor. She used duct tape over plastic wrap to get the form and drew the pattern directly onto the material. She numbered the segments and transferred them to EVA foam. She assembled them, used a dremel to sand the seams smooth, and filled them with Kwik Seal.
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, or even use Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for MakeCode, CircuitPython, 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.
