did this take you a while?

That is really cool. What controls the display, an Arduino? It's weird, I'm in the process of making the same type of video as I solder together this mini segmented LED display that will read out live Digg stats. But yours is cooler...by a lot.

edit: whoops just saw the description, Arduino it is

I was waiting for this video for some time, glad to watch it now ^^

Who helped you animate the LED repeating patterns? Just curious because it looked fantastic!

Holy crap!
But can you see?

Well done Mr. Pugh.

Very cool.

{amazing}

Have you made the controller by yourself?
In about one year im a skilled eletrician, leds arent a problem, th programming is i guess :D
havent worked with microcontrollers yet, only with bigger controls like S7, but thats not what i'd need for sumthing like that i guess :D

love daft. love the helmet. was it tough breathing in that thing?

Now all you need is a lit up pyramid.

That is THE single best haloween costume ever.

Very nice, especially the LED animation!

I put a link up to this at Synthtopia:

That's some effort - puts my deadmau5 head to shame - uk.youtube.com/watch?v=gDw9hA3ezuY

Aweosme!

Nice tidy-looking work. Must have taken some patience but great result!

Enjoy !

great job, always good watching someone carrying out skilled work and seeing it develop bit by bit

this is bad ass, casey!

awesome man...bring this to the office!

awesome

Great man! You should make a tutorial on this :P

i can say firsthand that wearing this helmet made you feel like you were from the future.

i can also say firsthand that i think i drunkenly halfway broke it. sorry!

I love to solder thin wires. I learned the skill working for AT&T. You look like you possess the skill as well...great job!

LED board is cool. but i'm sorry, it looks nothing like either of the Daft Punk helmets. good try though.

What song is that?

If Soxiam made a helmet like this, he'd rule.

Congrats for getting a mention in Kanye's Blog. Kick Video too, and I want that helmet, LOL. :)

That's incredible! You could make a killing selling those on Ebay.

Saw this on Kanye's BLAGGGG!!! wohowhowohwohwhwow

so are you willing to share your schematic and arduino code? This is bad ass!!!!! Great work.

cool project...

Hey can you email me some thorough instructions on how to do it? thx bro...
also great job!

Serious dedication man. I'd love to have a DP helmet of my own, and this is just 20 degrees of awesome.

Casey, I was looking at doing something similar for Halloween this year! I want to do a 36x11 board but I cant figure out the whole arduino thing as was hoping you could help me understand it a bit more.
thanks,
Mr. Cartier

Hey, Do you think you could do one of these on commission?

I like...wot did it cost?

I enjoyed your video -- and found your costume idea pretty awesome -- but man, you need to conclude the time-lapse by showing you and your costume in action. (That still shot at the beginning is tantalizing -- but it just isn't enough!)

I was put in mind of the robot in the original The Day the Earth Stood Still ... and the robocops in THX 1138. (And speaking of George Lucas, I got a kick out of your Star Wars Uncut trailer, too. Nicely done, sir.)

frikin awesome dude!!!

I made one as well, check it out:

void draw(){
println("awesome!");
}

really cool!
