Description

Last year I helped a friend with electronics to a LARP-spacesuit (Blodsband) based on a arduino,a oled display, some buttons and and neopixels.. This year he's making three and I decided to upgrade the new suits to IoST (Internet of SpaceThings) by using PiZero's, mainly since he wanted a HUD and I fell for the Pimoroni microdot phat

Components

1 × Raspberry Pi Zero
1 × Pimoroni microdot phat a phat providing nice array of micro leds, perfect for reflecting on the visor
1 × ProtoZero board For level converter and possible addons
2 × GPIO Header for Raspberry Pi HAT - 2x20 Short Female Header 1 for each expansion board
1 × Male 40-pin 2x20 header soldered on upside down to support boards on both side of PiZero
