More about this project
In this video I'm going to show you how to make an animated face mask using WS2812b LEDs (Aka Neopixels). I thought this would be fun to wear around during the current pandemic while also helping to keep other people safe. The mask fully covers your mouth and nose and while remaining easy to breath through. Obviously it's not medically rated, but it should capture any moisture you exhale, and so should be safe to wear while out and about.
I should also add that the LEDs are not super visible in direct sunlight, but they certainly are in any shade or indoors.
The mask uses 104 WS2812b LEDs, assembled from sections of commonly available 144 LEDs/m LED strip. WS2812b's are individually addressable, meaning that you control the color of each led. This lets you create almost any effect you can imagine (as long as you can code it). If you're not sure what effects you might like, or don't want to write a bunch of code, don't worry; I've written code to control the mask, including 41 different effects, which you can control using a series of buttons. The LEDs are controlled using a Wemos D1 Mini, an Arduino compatible micro-controller featuring an ESP8266 as the processor. This gives you plenty of memory and power to run as many effects as you'd like. It also gives you access to WiFi functionality (although not currently implemented in my code). The mask is powered externally via a 1S LiPo cell. Although the mask can run for a long time on just one cell, by keeping the cell external, you can easily swap in a fresh one. The all the components are mounted on custom PCB's (except the LED strip).
