Can we use a reed switch instead without modifying the code because i dont know anything about programing if not what kind of switch is this on the schematic? Just a push button or a 2 position button ?

Im pretty annoyed now because I forgot the motorized part and arduino and only want to power 3v Led or 12 V led strip but i need 2 AA battery holder or 8 AA battery holder and they dont sell them in america in fact i realized that they pretty much sell nothing in america for electronics and my deadline is july 7th

Yeah thanks i found what I was looking for in a shop 3minutes aways from my home ☺

hey everyone,
i am thinking to use a lcd 16x2, servos 2, accelerometer 335, micro sd card breakout board, speakers, arduno nano, some leds (maybe 6 for each eye).
so the plan is that the accelerometer will toggle functions that will be displayed on the lcd.
lcd will display various functions like
open the faceplate,
close the faceplate,
turn on the lights,
turn off the lights,
play some music, etc etc.
so the plan is if i tilt my head in the direction of positive x then the function currently been displayed on the lcd should toggle to next function and if i want to choose that function then i will tlt my head in the direction of -x axis.
can anyone help me with the setup and code. I am completely a noob in electronics and arduino stuff.
And yeah a GREAT plan popped in my head that if my helmet could contain a retinal scan to check if the person is me or not.
I dont seriously mean retinal scan it can be implemented by a rfid card reader fixed inside the helmet and a tag somwhere on my collar or somwhere
so when i wear the helmet
the tag shoud be recognized andif there is no tag recognized then a audio file should play and the the whole helmet should shut down.
And at the last I would like to say that IT IS THE BEST THREAD ON THE RPF.
and yeah thanks in advance
thank you 7 sinzz

Figured I'd drop this in here, seemed like the best place for it!
I'll be playing around with replacing my nano with a digispark (http://digistump.com/product.php?id=1). It has a built in voltage regulator and is small and relatively inexpensive even with little extensions. Anyone have any experience with them?

My question is/would be... why?
You have less I/O pins..
different chip, so less memory...etc
Its based of the Attiny85 chip.. instead of the '328 chip.
You can get a Pro-Mini (which is still based off the 328 chip) with a smaller footprint than the Nano (if that is the goal?) and it'll cost roughly $2-$3.00 USD on ebay.

I liked the concept of having the built-in USB plug, I have a pro-mini with the USB piece that i hook the pins when I upload code and disconnect when it's finished. I like the idea of that and the built in regulator. The more inclusive the board the better in my eyes. Also why I dropped it in here, a lot more people more knowledgeable than I who can help me look past the convenience of the add-ons and look at the actual guts.

Nano's have usb connector..
Pro-Micro's (not to be confused with Pro-Mini's)..
also have a micro USB connector on-board.
both will give you more memory for your code.. and more I/O pins..
I guess depending on the code you write... it might all fit? (worth a shot I guess if you already have it)

I believe i have a pro-mini (no onboard usb). Im just using a basic servo up/down and eye on/off, nothing crazy. I have yet to move my rough setup using the nano to the mini, mainly because i'm getting servo buzzing and awkward jitters (i know my voltage setup is still wonky). I'll have to check the size of the code when I reinvigorate the project.

make sure you have all grounds connected... this should stop the jitter.
(there are pages here where this is talked about as well)..
although a pic of your wiring would be helpful.. or a wiring diagram of how you believe it to be hooked up.
* do not power/drive the servo from the Arduino.. it cant supply enough current. (especially if the servo is under load)
battery source should connect to Arduino to power it.
battery source should also directly connect to servo through a (I'd suggest 6v, but that depends on your servo specs) voltage regulator.
the only 'connection' from the Arduino to the servo should be 1 wire (the control/signal line)..
the Arduino should also connect to the regulated GND line that also goes to the servo(s)
that should stop your jitters...

Hi all! I'm brand new to The RPF but have been reading through this thread and countless other sites and pages about making my own helmet for a while now. There is so much info and knowledge written here and it's amazing to see how many brilliant people there are that were able to figure all of this out.
I followed all of the buying and assembly instructions from 7sinzz's Captivating Costumes page. I set up my arduino, bread board and servos last night and after running into a few problems thought it would be best to finally join the boards.
Anyway, the biggest problem so far is that the instructions say to place a reed switch in the e30 and f28 holes on the bread board. My reed switch is just too long to get the poles to fit in those specified holes. Since the rails are connected I figured that I could just put them on either side of the center rail and run my jumper cables from each row and everything would be good.
But, after setting everything up and uploading the code I ran the magnet passed the reed switch and the servos rotate one direction then immediately the other direction and then jitters a few times. I triple checked everything and the only conclusion that I could come to is that the problem is a result of me having to place the switch in different locations.
I am brand new to all of this, so, I hope this makes sense, and any help at this stage would be much appreciated.

I've got it all together but the switch doesn't seem to work. I've tried rotating it around and using different switches. If I plug and unplug the wires next to the switch, it works though. Anyone know what might be the solution?

Once I'm done with the prototyping process, how should I mount this onto an arduino mini pro in order to fit it into the helmet?

You can solder to the Pro-Mini directly... You can solder some header pins on your pro-mini and mount it to a breadboard.. and connect through that.. There is really no difference between an Arduino and Pro-Mini.. outside of some 'convenience' factors... (on-board USB for programming..etc).. mostly its all about form factor (footprint/size) You need to order a USB/TTL adapter to program them.. You could also use a Nano.. which DOES have on-board USB..
