LED Astronaut Helmet

Arduino project for LED astronaut helmet.

Hardware

• Pro Micro 5v/16MHz: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/12640
• Neopixel strip in helmet
• Mokungit WS2812B LED Strip: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01D1EDDR8
• Button

Configuration

Two separately controlled LED strips, one on the helmet, one on the face. Power is chained from helmet to face strip.

• Button: pin 8
• Helmet LED strip pin: 2
• Helmet LEDs: 26
• Face LED strip pin: 10
• Face LEDs: 46

Face LEDs are organized in a zig-zag pattern in 4 lines:

• 13 in forward direction
• 13 in reverse
• 12 in forward
• 8 in reverse

LED strips are running of off board voltage. Works fine as long as power draw is low.
