Iron Man MkIII suit animatronics

you and everyone else on here make this stuff look so easy. I guess with practise it will be, but for now this seems like an intimidating project. the helmet, wiring and rods look awesome. I look forward to seeing more :)
 
wow. What type of radio did u used sir? I saw ur predator cannon. Id like to make one but i used accelerometer.. :)
 
Wow this looks great!have you thought of doing a run on the junkyard with kits of these? That would help a lot of us that are trying to achieve this :D
 
I have Clinton's Helmet and suit. I am very interested in having ur kit in my helmet and hands. I wont need the rockets.

I am watching this with great interest. I enjoyed the TUT...intimidating, but it makes me want to learn how to do this. Subscribed!

It's an XBee- they are very robust encrypted radios.

This is a pretty ingenius and elegant solution to a common problem associated with building helmets like this: How do I take the helmet off without disconnecting the electronics? Well-played, sir. :thumbsup

First off, let me say that I'm extremely new to this kind of thing, but the pictures are really detailed and descriptive. For a beginer like myself, it helps to have post like this so that I can learn, so thank you for that.

Anyways, I do have a question about the electronics, though.

I was able to recognize all of the components of your hinge's electronic system except the board underneath the XBee (the blue board with the red + green LEDs on it). What is that/What does it do? Like I said, the blue color of the board reminds me of Arduino boards but my limited knowledge of the subject makes it really hard to infer what it is/does.

Thanks in advance for the reply!

Looks like an Adafruit Xbee adapter to me:
XBee Adapter kit [v1.1] ID: 126 - $10.00 : Adafruit Industries, Unique & fun DIY electronics and kits
 
Yep- it's an XBee adapter. It's a very handy little board when using XBee radios as it will take care of the logic level shifting for you. It also breaks out the XBee radio pins into a more useful standard spaced format. I highly recommend using it.

I've been writing code like mad- there will be an update soon with video. :)
 
Okay, subscribed. I don't plan on doing IM armor, but learning about this stuff is just way too much to pass up.
 
I have not really followed any of the IM builds, but this one has caught my interest. Looking forward to seeing all the electronic goodness in action.
