Enjoy!
Our project won the award of excellence!! The build log for a University of Alberta Capstone Project. The building of a Daft Punk Helmet. The completed helmet will have a 8x40 matrix of LED's on the visor which will be able to scroll text and show a audio visualizer by plugging in a music device. The helmet will be wearable, battery powered, and kept cool by 2 internal fans and sweet external looks.

Spectrum Visualizer Demo
Here's a video showing the spectrum visualizer in action
The visualizer code is still being tweaked a bit to make it look nicer, but this video shows its basic operation as well as some more scrolling text just for fun

Sample of an extra animation that will be added to final product. Behold, blinking eyes.

The circuit board we designed has arrived. To the left is back of the board and the front of the board is on the right.
Painting of the LED's is finished, we have also started soldering it together.
We have finished building the ear lights. Don't you worry though they will be covered so you wont be able to see the wires and resistors. (Below)
