Stage 7 – Electronics
“Helping hands” holding LED and battery holder for soldering
Materials I used for this stage:
- Helping hands
- Soldering Iron
- Solder
- 22 gauge wire
- 9v battery holders
- LEDs
- Scrap foam
- Hot glue
- Velcro
- Mylar folder
- Reed switch
Steps:
- For the gloves, I had a 9v battery holder which contained a switch. I wired and soldered this directly to my LEDs and hot glued the LEDs to the glove
- I cut out pieces of a mylar folder in order to diffuse the LED.
Red mylar folder used to diffuse light on gauntlet
- For the eyes, I made eye boxes out of scrap foam and attached LEDs to the inside. More folder used to diffuse the light
- LED eye boxes are then wired to a reed switch and a 9v battery holder. The reed switch closes the circuit when a magnetic field is present (facemask open, eyes off – facemask closed, eyes on)
Wiring of the facemask eyes
- For the chest piece, it was more or less the same with LEDs wired and more red folders to diffuse the light.
