Pi Pico Powered T-45 Power Armor Helmet #piday #raspberrypi
Halloween might be over but this T-45 Power Armor Helmet will keep you rad free well into the new year. Crafted by Grimdaria on Reddit with a refresh on the way. More than a standard Fallout helmet this one boast an internal Oled screen for heads up display! There is component status, temperature, and volume. Looking forward to next version:
Features:
Pi PICO micro controller
External blue LED to denote PICO is operational
Internal temperature sensor
5v fans that activate based on internal temperature
12-LED NeoPixel for main lamp
External stereo microphones that feed into stereo headphones (can hear things going on outside helmet)
Two external buttons and one external potentiometer to control lights/sound volume
Internal OLED screen that displays status of all electronics (Lights on/off, fans on/off, fans RPM, temperature, headphone volume)
Prep your wrist for the apocalypse! Build your own small form-factor, Fallout-inspired Pip-Boy with Feather RP2040, CircuitPython, and these shop items.
