Hunting Iron man ( or Batman) helmet
February 26, 2024, 23:19
Hi! basically, I want to make Iron man(or Batman. depends mostly on stl's I will find) helmet with built in thermal vision, night vision, and possibly remote activator. I want to use it to play hide and seek in the dark, as well for simply having a cool gadget from movies. Problem is, that I have zero knowlage about Raspberry Pi, coding , and stuff like that. Only similar thingI have done is working animatronic head using Arduino. I really need someone to help me find parts and show me the basics of it.
big project but let's start with the pi. your roles say you have every pi is that correct?
i clicked randomly on them
i have non, but ill buy one that is best for this project
ok if you don't have any just don't click any, I'm removing all of those roles for you now
ok first of all if you want thermal vision and night vision that would mean you want two different cameras, maybe the pi 5 because of its double display ports
and you would want two small displays, maybe the cameras could be usb and display could be on the display ports.. or vise versa
if you don't understand what I'm saying right now don't worry, I'm just brainstorming
the pi 5 would also be good for all that displaying and stuff. the only problem is it's size and power intake. so it might be a bit chunky
actually it'd be chunky no Matter what
hmm...
what are the smallest pi that could support one camera at a time?
im thinking of building in two small pi, and make a system to switch between both
im not sure if that would work tho...
pi zero could do it but the display parts would become much more difficult
darn
so, what would be the best solution?
pi 5 with usb cameras, but just gonna be a bit chunky
or you could have like a backpack to hold all the big components
It would be better for it to be not as heavy
unless you have some good battery in your mind
I do that's not that heavy and could last about 3 hours, the problem is size
so do you like the backpack idea?
maybe?
I would propably more enjoy having this thing on me:
oh yeah that'd be good
and you may have a kinda thick wire going to the headset
I might have to have it on the back then
but its not much of a problem
I mean it could go under a shirt
ok id find some usb thermal and usb night vision cameras
I'll find some small displays when I'm free, and everything else I already know about
do you have a 3d printer? wed probably want something specifically designed
There is a small IR filter on most USB cameras that you can remove and get a "nightvision" camera for less. And if you add some IR LEDs you can get a nice nightvision camera.
yes i was just worried that its too dificult to remove and they would sratch the senser
I have modified two web cameras and it was quite easy, I was more lucky than the YouTube video. The IR filter was easily removed with a needle and a knife tip (scalpel)
i do
good
how hard is it?
never tried myself tbh, but according to <@796000224690307072> it's not that hard
i mean, I could take that risk and try it out 🤷♂️
It is like to ask "How hard is it to eat soup without spill"... It depends on how steady hand you have and patience and work methodically. And if something is stuck, it is a reason and it isn't solved with more force.
And in the YouTube video the person smashed the IR filter, I choose to use a scalpel and slowly peal away the glue piece by piece. And on one camera I was successfully just to pry it loose.
I see
i mean, my hands arent steady, but i have worked on many things that need precision and i still was able to do so.... so yeah.
i think I could be able to do it, I just need a camera to do it on
but before i do anything, I have a question
this does not look like
like this
I know, great expample
but
would it behave in a simmilar way?
I mostly want that termovision to see footsteps
and Im not sure if a camera modified in such way could see those
by that i mean heat left by foot
