Stubby Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 For the interior of the helmet/armor, what are all the electronics that are needed? (I.E. fans and the speakers etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daetrin[Admin] Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 None are needed, but many put in fans & vox. I think some have put in FRS radio systems, mp3 players, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stubby Posted March 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Alright, that works for me then. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stubby Posted March 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Better question. What do you guys put in your helmets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peregrinus Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 I'm still in assembly phase on these helmets, but I have some small (40x40x10mm) quiet computer fans, and am accumulating shielded wiring, omnidirectional microphone elements, headphones, voice amps, speakers, and radios to go in them. As I go, the better it all falls into place. I love these buckets -- if you know what you're doing around electronics, there's a lot of workroom in there. My end aim is to have fans to keep air moving past the face; internal mic that splits input to 1) the voice amp and from there to the p/a speaker, and 2) the radio (push-to-talk); external mics for binaural outside sound going into stereo earphones, with the right one also having output from the radio. All self-contained to the helmet. I'm leaving some space around the goggles to one day maybe even trick out a full filtered-optical system, but that's a veeeeeery long-range project. --Jonah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK4205 Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 So have you gotten yourself a digital camera yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-4510[TK] Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 I put a hard hat liner and lots of sweat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peregrinus Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 So have you gotten yourself a digital camera yet? Nope. *lol* I've got other, directly-costume-related things a spare hundred or two would be better spent on. I am taking WIP photos on film, though. I'm so old-fashioned. -__- --Jonah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stubby Posted March 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Thanks Jonah, that'll give me a good idea on what I want to do with the helmet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
