Mask Lights: PCB Design

Design to be printed onto a circuit board. This will let me implement the lights neatly without all the loose wires as seen in the last post.

Mask: Eye Light Circuit Prototype

The lights for the masks eyes are made up of 48 LEDs (16x3), and makes use of 6 x 74hc595 shift registers, along with an Arduino Uno.

Due to the amount of LEDs and their arrangement, I decided to use cardboard instead of a breadboard. The video only shows the bottom two sets of 8 working, but this was due to the wires on the back (see below) crossing.

Managed to get 4 sets of 8 LEDs working with the code, so going to get a circuit board printed, as the same principle applies to the next two sets of 8 LEDs. Also fiddling between the wires and maintaining it when pins come loose took a while, so made sense to go straight to the circuit board.

Mask Casting

After takingbhe master out I putnon some mold release spray, then cast the mask and a gun mold I made out of some excess silicone.
