Google AIY Case Ironman Helmet Adafruit

thingiverse

VERSION 2 HERE : https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2950453 This is an incredible remix of Odinos amazing design (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:90325). I used the screw holes for the voice hat, speaker, and Pi from Adabot Google AIY Voice Kit by Adafruit (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2709085) to create this work in progress. As a maker, I jumped into making an enclosure for the Adafruit AIY kit before even programming it, so I've only just made it past the hardware checks, but I can say that it does play audio and the mics do pick up sound. However, the holes will need to be redone and angled better. This project is a dream come true as far as future plans go (I'm a maker :) ). I want to add servos to open and close the faceplate, LEDs for the eyes and arc reactor, and honestly, I want to add the body all the way to the hips with a few motors and gears inside. The face should use facial recognition and tracking to follow certain people when they come in the room or even look at the person talking. I would also like to add speakers into the hand blasters and a small sub in the real arc reactor spot. Additionally, I'd love to see the torso twist and possibly the hands and arms raise into the firing position to reveal a pico projection on the wall. I know it's ambitious, but I have the idea in my head, so I've released what I already had for you guys to enjoy. I re-uploaded the helmet files already scaled to size because I couldn't remember the exact scale. Super glue and small pointy electronic screws are needed as well; I don't know exactly the size because I used some spare screws I had lying around. I also uploaded a flat arc reactor for a different look. The Arc reactor does not need to be glued nor the base, and the Pi base doesn't fit after adding an HDMI cable, so my Pi is just floating inside the back of the helmet. However, it doesn't fall out, but I will be redesigning it eventually and replacing these long keyboard and mouse USB connectors with some slim wireless dongles soon. That should free up a little space for me to mount the case on its side with HDMI and power facing down. I ran all cords to one side and out the side of the helmet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsM8qJYnLd0 https://youtu.be/vw4oRCxZ4jI https://youtu.be/m9wqT3shXj8 <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/bsM8qJYnLd0" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/vw4oRCxZ4jI" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/m9wqT3shXj8" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe> Video of assistant running a demo. I need to get a white 30mm arcade button to make the eyes light up white when she hears or is thinking. However, the light effects are what I was aiming for, so I can scratch the LEDs for the eyes off the to-do list, or either keep the white LEDs for eyes and add a blue arcade button to make the white light mix with blue when she talks - that would be dope also!
