Arduino powered LED Mask with FastLED [Part 2] - Enclosure and wiring

Return of the mask! Here I complete the mask build by making it wearable. I design an enclosure in Fusion 360 and wire it all up. I've also added two more buttons to enable the brightness and sound sensitivity to be changed. If you want to build something like this yourself, check out my previous video here • Arduino powered LED Ma...

The mask runs from an Arduino nano and the LEDs are controlled using the FastLED library.

Love that music during the assembly montage!

[@NerdMusician]

Amazing! Loving your videos!

[@Marc_Miller]

Another great video Scott! Cheers

[@ScottMarley]

Thanks Marc, much appreciated!

[@xNiickT]

nice!

[@HexDiesis]

Ah so cool! And fascinating to see the process too.
Once festivals can happen again you're gonna be so damn ready. XD

[@ScottMarley]

Hey chap, hope you're well! Yeah, real shame there are no events to actually wear this at... Boooo covid!

[@nczskitso]

Scott Marley Halloween!!!!
My kids love it, I’m going to finish this tonight

[@RiiahTV]

hey just subscribed

[@SteamHeadProductions]

oh dang, awesome! if you get any footage of it in use / being worn, please post!

[@ScottMarley]

I'd love too, but there aren't a lot of parties going on in the UK right now! Hopefully I can use it soon.

[@-______-______-]

Great video dude. Did you do the music on this vid?

[@simonchristen7787]

Fantastic work. And great video documentation.
Quick question. What are you planning on using to power it with while wearing at a party? Just some run of the mill USB portable battery? Thanks

[@ScottMarley]

Yeah, exactly that. It runs for many hours from a 10,000mAh USB power bank

[@basem99h]

Maybe you can try the WLED on this project, you will have amazing effects
But you need to change the controller to wifi based one

[@ScottMarley]

I have thought about that, but I made this so that I could learn how to write my own patterns. Half the fun of this is writing the code ;) I have another project I'm working on where I will use wled though.

[@ekfariant3159]

how to build led firecracker sir?

[@rodrigobarboza1592]

Scott I can't understand why do you remove SS1P3L diode from the NANO, Could the project work without removing it?
And what do we need to avoid if we do remove this thing? connecting the NANO to an external power like 2 AA battery while is also connected to the usb charger?
Thank you

[@ScottMarley]

The maximum current rating of the diode is 1A. The way I have it wired up, I've connected the 5V for the LEDs to the 5V Arduino pin which draws power through the diode. The LEDs can easily exceed 1A, which would burn up the diode. If you had a seperate 5V connection for the LEDs, you wouldn't need to do this, but I wanted to keep the wiring as simple as possible. Removing the diode takes 5 seconds with a soldering iron so that was the fastest way to do it. Is there a reason why you don't want to remove it?

[@ngocquangbb]

Awesome... love it, can you share more the Fusion file ? :p

[@ScottMarley]

Done, it's on github here github.com/s-marley/LEDMask

[@ngocquangbb]

@@ScottMarley wonderful, I'll try it. Many things I will learn from your guide. Thank you very much

[@ngocquangbb]

@@ScottMarley I try to learn Arduino, can you share your code use in this Video [part 2]? really a good start because I very excited about your project.

[@ScottMarley]

I've uploaded the code to github.com/s-marley/LEDMask. The version in the MaskUpdate folder supports the extra buttons used for changing the brightness of the LEDs.

[@ngocquangbb]

@@ScottMarley Thank you very much

😵😵‍💫

[@jackflipu2596]

What is the ampers that this device receives from the usb port?

[@ScottMarley]

You can limit it in the code to whatever you like. I usually run it from a power bank so set a 2A limit

[@anycatdessai]

What's the function of the microphone in this project?

[@ScottMarley]

One of the patterns is sound reactive (the red face). I always meant to add more sound reactive patterns but ended up moving onto other projects.

[@ta_helado]

do you have the codes anywhere?

[@ScottMarley]

Yeah, in the description on part 1 of this video.

[@rodrigobarboza1592]

Could you upload a tutorial about the 3d modelling of the back of the head container, please? Or at least upload the model

[@ScottMarley]

The fusion model is on the GitHub page for the project github.com/s-marley/LEDMask

Hello, congratulations on the incredible project! I'm sorry if there are any errors, I'm Brazilian and I don't speak English.
I'm using your code on a much smaller project, just 12 LEDs. To get the effects right, my XY map was 5x5
const uint8_t XYTable [] = {
24, 8, 6, 4, 13,
11, 22, 19, 16, 2,
10, 21, 18, 15, 1,
9, 20, 17, 14, 0,
23, 7, 5, 3, 12
};
I believe I have modified all the necessary values in the code, and uncommented the line modeBtn.begin () ;, but I can navigate between the modes only once, then the code locks and turns off all the LEDs. I am new to Aruino and programming, but I am grateful if you can help me.

[@ScottMarley]

Sorry it's taken a while to reply to you, I missed this comment. Could you send me your code? It's tricky to see what's happening without it. Copy the Mask.ino file that you are using to pastebin and link to it here.
