Iron Man Helmet

Intro

This project was a hard one to finish in time, from 3d filiment running out to a snow storm preventing parts from coming in. I was able to stray away from my physical piece as I proposed in my proposal as a back up plan if anything went wrong, and it did. So my project now is a tinkercad piece with servos, LEDs, a buzzer and "voice control" (and a self desctruct).

The first couple of days of this project was at home 3d printing the helmet and making a list of conponents required, luckily for the acuation of the helmet I had everything needed, but of course that wouldnt be enough. Once everything was printed the process of glueing was a tedious process and is right now on the 24th being finished. The tinkercad project was all done on friday in class when the relization hit that I was going to be late on my due date.

Conclusion

I learned alot from this project as it was my first project with a due date and had a plan for. I had Lex help me with code syntax due to I kept forgetting the difrence from java script to python and C (or whatever arduino uses) The 3d printing was one main factor of my project being delayed and aswell as that, electronics are expensive, most of the stuff I wanted to do needed a Rasberry Pi which I do not have the funds for, and as well as that shippinng takes forever. My main take aways is that projects take time and with propper planning you can do anything, I had my backup plan that I didnt belive I needed but here we are with my project being online. Some things I do need to improve on is my time manegment.
