• Steampunk Goggles LED Holder (x2)

Tools and supplies

1. 3D Printer
2. Dremel (or other drilling tool)
3. Hot Glue Gun
4. Soldering Kit
5. Pliers, Screwdrivers
6. Heat Shrink Tubing (Black)

Instructions:

1. Disconnect one of the eye cups from the bridge strap
2. Drill a small rat hole at the base of each nose-cutout. (Big enough for 6 strands of 30awg silicone wire
3. Cut the following pieces of 30awg Silicone Wire
   • 2 x 6" Red
   • 1 x 8" Red
   • 2 x 6" Black
   • 1 x 8" Black
   • 1 x 6" White
   • 1 x 8" White
4. Strip and tin all your Silicone wires
5. Cut a 3/4" long piece of 1/4" Black Heat Shrink tubing
6. Run the 3, 8" lengths through the heat shrink tubing, then push the tubing & wires over the exposed bridge strap
7. Reconnect both cups to the bridge strap
8. Run the 3, 8" lengths into the left cup rat-hole.
9. Solder the following:
   • Black to any "GND" pad
   • Red to any "VCC" pad
   • White to "IN" pad
10. Run 1 x 6" black and 1 x 6" red into the left cup rat-hole
11. Solder the following:
    • Black to the remaining "GND" pad
    • Red to the remaining "VCC" pad
12. Solder the black and red wires to a battery connector from the charging harness

    • Red to any "VCC" pad
    • White to the "OUT" pad
16. Run the remaining 6" black, red and white wires into the right-cup rat-hole.
17. Solder the following:
    • Black to the remaining "GND" pad
    • Red to the remaining "VCC" pad
    • White to the "In" pad
18. Solder the other ends of those wires to the Arduino:
    • Black to "GND"
    • Red to "VIN"
    • White to "D3"

Test Programming

We're using the "100 Lights" code example from Episode 173

• We need to change the Digital Pin to "3"
• We need to change the number of LEDs to "16"
• We can play with the brightness

You can find the code here.
