Mickey-Helmet-Project

Project Overview

This repository contains the Mickey-Helmet-Project, my final project for the Fablab program at Ulink College of Suzhou Industrial Park. The project combines skills learned throughout the course, culminating in the creation of a Mickey Mouse-inspired helmet. The design incorporates 3D modeling, LED programming, and laser cutting technologies.

Key Features

  • 3D Modeled Helmet: Crafted using SolidWorks to achieve an accurate and functional Mickey Mouse-themed design.
  • LED Display Eyes: Utilizes an 8*24 LED panel controlled by Arduino mainboards, offering dynamic visual expressions.
  • Laser-Cut Protective Case: Provides durability and stability to the helmet, along with a professional finish.

Development Steps

Design

  • SolidWorks: Initial design and numerous adjustments were made using SolidWorks to perfect the helmet's appearance and functionality.

Fabrication

  • 3D Printing: The model was brought into the physical world using a 3D printer provided by the school.
  • Laser Cutting: The helmet's protective case was fashioned using a laser cutter, reinforcing the structure.

Programming

  • Arduino Control: Three Arduino mainboards were programmed to manage the LED panels. Initially set to flash randomly, simulating Mickey Mouse's eyes.

Suggested Improvements

  • Enhanced LED Functionality: Revise the Arduino code to make the LED display more interactive, such as showing the date and time, instead of random flashing.
