Looking to reimagine the headset as the original is very rough and has falling-apart tendencies. Make a batch so other dalek builders can use them.

Thoughts:

• Use my new encoder modules
• Use an off the shelf tilt module for China cheapness. The 2010 option of "buy a used WII nunchuck and cut it in half" is not scalable.
• Skip the microphone. Separate problem.
• Use plugs and proper jumper wires.
• 3-d print bracket so support headside electronics
• put together kits with
  • facemask
  • swivel arc strip
  • spinner
  • encoder
  • tilt sensor
  • tilt sensor adapter board
  • bracket

Looking to use the following tilt sensor:

• chip: ADXL345 Initial googling suggest this is well supported for arduino
• module: GY291 is crazy cheap. I can get 4 whole modules from banggood for less than the price of the chip at mouser.
• chip runs at 3.3v, module includes 3.3v regulator and all pullups
• can sit this behind a logic level changer quite happily.
• module pinouts do not match my I2C wiring (wires not adjacent) but I can handle that on the adapter board.

So job 1 is to pick up a few of these modules and see if they work.
