Sister Night NeoPixel Goggles

In this project, we're building NeoPixel goggles inspired by HBO's television series Watchmen. Control the NeoPixel LED animations with a rotary encoder. Display up to four different modes with control like speed, colors and brightness of the NeoPixels. The 3D printed parts fit over costume goggles and snap fit together!

CircuitPython Code

The code was written in Circuit Python so it makes customizing much easier. This project uses the Trinket Adafruit M0 which is one of the tiniest boards supported in CircuitPython. This makes projects easier to maintain because it works like a USB drive so all of your code and libraries are easily accessible.

Wearable Cosplay Goggles

You can actually see through them so they’re safe to wear. The 3D printed covers actually keep the light away from your eyes. An elastic headband makes it much more comfortable to wear and can be adjusted so they’ll stay nice and tight.
