Making an LED-lit, smart Fursuit Head @TheMariday
The Mariday has created a beautify NeoPixel-lit fursuit head. There is a full video above. Features
- Head has RGB LED smart pixels (NeoPixels) mounted on an inner shell
- Matrix lit eyes
- LEDs controlled via a FadeCandy board and Raspberry Pi
- There is an inner shell and an outer shell
- There are four fans for cooling (making it near impossible to hear while wearing)
- Exterior is a 3D printed shell which diffuses the light and has fur on it
- The suit is controlled via WiFi by a second person.
Additional pictures and Twitter posts are listed below via the builder’s Twitter @TheMairday, worth a follow.
And check out CostumePy – a third party library for smart wearables.
Got the eyes added to the system properly now.
The reason it looks a little grubby is because there's a lot of daylight in my room. Looks much better at night. pic.twitter.com/GWzNY23I1d
