If you are only using 1 led.. why the need of a transistor? what type of led is it?
you must have some good diffusion behind the eye then? looks good for only 1 led..
anyways.. I too have been playing with some code..etc
(anybody got a cool whirrr or bzzz sound like the gears for the helmet when it opens/closes?.. I wanna try to incorporate those into the project as well)
anyways.. a few 'community' questions..
1.) If people are NOT using any type of limit switches.. how do we know if the helmet is opened or closed?
ie: we power the helmet/Arduino up.. (and the helmet is closed).. the eyes blink, and fade in.. ok..
but what if we powered it up with the helmet open? it would be backwards?..
just a question.. if there was a 'switch' of some kind that was open or closed based on the status of the faceplate.. we wouldnt have to worry about that type of scenario anymore.
