Stargate helmet with gyroscope animatronic
- Thread starter Effecta
- Start date
If you look at the movie, you can see clearly a "remote control effect", while I reached a "biological movement".
Anyway, as soon as possible I will post some video about head movement when worn

HAHA..
but what does that means?I'm not clear how a bluetooth approach left you with a 'remote control effect'? and using wifi now got you to a 'biological movement'?
I'm talking from a technical standpoint.. was using bluetooth providing to much lag or something? (is that what you mean by 'remote control effect'?
This is what I mean as "RC effect": a not fluid movement:

This is a more fluid movement, because it is "biologically driven"

no, just the gyroscope driven mode is fluid, the manual control (WiFi, RC, Bluetooth…) it is not.
Please wait for video of my helmet for a more clear explanation…
Another test in 1:1 scale. The result is quite good, all parts joins together without problems, detail are good.
The final assembly is comparable with the scaled model I already done.
I used an awful lightweight foam that is difficult to shape, I will trash this helmet as soon I will complete the measurements and the tests.
The scratching post of my cats is perfect as helmet stand

Update: the final helmet made from high density EVA foam, 99% screen accurate.
Some details are still missing.

Looking great!
Can I suggest BIGGER Servos? My helmet is in FIBERGLASS, and it moves just fine.
Here is my project.

Very impressive and beautiful. How do you seal the foam and which paints will you be using?
What do you see in the movie is raw foam without paint. The foam is hi density, 100kg/m3, so is very compact. I will paint it using FlexiPaint and then acrylic colours.
To fill imperfections, if any, I use acrylic silicone.
The glue is contact glue (Bostik or similar), otherwise the details are fixed with cyanoacrilic glue

BrundelFly, you are my inspiration!
I know almost all of your wonderful work, I studied all detail and… I changed it all [emoji23]
This just because my goal is a wearable helmet (or better, a costume), and my priority are lightweight and long lasting battery.
Moreover, I wish also a screen accurate prop, and I believe I can achieve it.
What is the weight of your helmet?

10 to 12 lbs....
Check out SMOOTH On FEATHER LIGHT. That is what my ears are made of.
