LED Mounting Plate for Scanner Boushh Helmet Star Wars

Components to create a simple scanner for the Boushh Helmet

Easy assembly, few components

The parts are for the "JawaBrothersCustoms" helmet in original size

If you scale it, the plate must also be scaled ;-)

1. 1x Carrier plate for two COB LED strips (green LEDs)
2. 1x Holder that fixes the carrier plate in place. No gluing or screwing.
3. 1x Holder for Arduino Nano V3 controller

Required:

2x 3mm or 5mm COB LED strip in green

1x Arduino Nano V3

Cables, wire, a small power supply e.g. 9V block battery with holder

Connection:

+5V of both LED strips --→ Nano V3 Pin: 5V

GND LED strip top --→ 330 Ohm resistor --→ Nano V3 Pin 8

GND LED strip bottom --→ 330 Ohm resistor --→ Nano V3 Pin 9

Input voltage e.g. 9V block battery

+ VCC --→ Nano V3 Vin

GND --→ Nano V3 GND

Code for the Nano V3 via Arduino IDE:

const byte ledA = 8;

const byte ledB = 9;

void setup() {

pinMode(ledA, OUTPUT);

pinMode(ledB, OUTPUT);

}

void loop() {

digitalWrite(ledA, HIGH);

digitalWrite(ledB, LOW);

delay(1000);

digitalWrite(ledA, LOW);

digitalWrite(ledB, HIGH);

delay(1000);

}

-------------

The blinking speed can be adjusted using the value after “delay”
