Werkin on a new #ledmask figure I should start posting more #WIP here not just on my insta. This piece has 626 x #apa102 pixels driven by an #esp32 Ive modifed my animation lib to load the pixel map on boot from SPIFFS and directly map via pointers to save ram. Initilay this was to get it to work on the #esp8266 but because im using websockets for the config system, there just wasnt enough ram, so esp32 it is

Who here likes #proccess vids!l? This is the 1st part of getting all the #sk6812 pixels ready for a new #ledmask

Presenting the Anubis #ledmask this took about 24 hours over 4 days to complete from the reels of #apa102 pixels to this beast of a #wearable Its driven by an #esp32 & powered by a #usbcpd (15w) powerbank & has a dedicated wifi based #webui for animation config

WIP of one of my ultra popular #ledmask the Anubis ! 783 x #apa102 5050 pixels on 144ppm 10mm strip driven by an #esp32 using my very latest animation system & the latest interactive, appless #webapp to set up the animation que. Using the global brightness system, specialy utilised on the APA102 & #sk9822 chipsets, Im able to drive this from a standard 15w USBC powerbank. Most of the super bussy animations are dimmed (using GBB) whilst still giving a full blast experience.

The Dual Visor #ledmask with 176 x #sk6812 5050 pixels driven by an #esp8266 The back of the mask is lined with soft black felt to light seal the panels & give your nose something soft to rest on. It has a short, adjustable elastic strap with a quick release buckle that holds the mask on your head #geordilaforge would definitely rock this to a party #ledwear #cyberpunk #cyberpunkfashion #cyberpunkwear

I have 2 x 47px strips at the top & 2 x 41px strips at the bottom (Using #sk6812 5050 on 12mm strip) cabling will be neatly tucked into the rear chanels. The back will have black felt for blackout & comfort against your face. This double slit #visor has excelent visibility! #geordilaforge could rock this on a date with Leah to the local #holodisco #ledmask #esp8266

Almost done with this #ledmask I need to add some blackout tape around the eyes, as there is way too much light seeping inside. Feels like a disco on my face #sk9822 #apa102 #esp8266

WIP: I have secured the matrix to the rear of the mask so the pixels backlight the forward wall. Have attached the headband with buckle straps & connected the controller to the headband. This has 216 x #sk9822 #apa102 pixels driven by the @espressif_systems_official #esp8266 I was a bit over eager on the pixel count, had to do some trimming & adjusting around the upper edges of the matrix. Next up, a soft piece of fabric for the back, neaten up the cables & set up my favourite que #ledmask

Pixels pixels & moar pixels! Slowly getting the backing matrix assembled. All the strips are soldered from the rear to save cable foldimg space around the edges of the mask. Using #sk9822 #apa102 5050 #ledstrip #pixels #ledmask #esp8266

The Shell tool creates the air gap that is essential in delivering this gorgeous diffusion. This mask was a total fail, Its too small so I had to put it in the oven at 100c for 1 min to manualy bend it to fit my face, but Ive learned what I needed to. Im using a small strip of #sk6812 5050 pixels for the demo driven by an #esp8266 #3dmodeling #ledmask #ws2812
