Issue 16 — HackSpace magazine – Add lights to a cosplay helmet –

In this intermediate project, we’ll do some light soldering, create a simple program with CircuitPython, and even craft custom diffusers for our external lights. To control the circuit, we’re using the ItsyBitsy M0 Express from Adafruit. While the Gemma M0 board is our go-to for wearable projects (and would work just fine if you’ve got one to hand), the ItsyBitsy gives us room to grow if we want to add more functionality to the helmet in the future. Maybe a voice changer? Or sci-fi sound samples triggered by capacitive touch areas on the helmet? The possibilities are endless, and once you’ve got your ItsyBitsy installed, it’s easy to reprogram with CircuitPython whenever you get a new idea.
