When it comes to making props and copying props from science fiction, makers will undoubtedly use their favorite board, and that’s exactly what happened with today’s project created by Grimdaria, known as a maker and developer on Reddit. Using our favorite microcontroller, Raspberry Pi PicoGrimdaria revealed something amazing T-45 power armored helmet From the ‘Fallout’ series. We think that the Brotherhood of Steel will also approve this structure.

This project was designed as part of a Halloween costume for her son and was scaled to fit a child’s head. That said, there’s enough room inside to fit plenty of electronics and features that his son can not only monitor but also operate. Inside there are LEDs, a temperature sensor and even a display.

It can be hard to hear what’s going on outside with a big helmet like this, so Grimdaria got creative and used a microphone. This makes it possible for his son to listen to the audio using a pair of headphones. The built-in display is an OLED screen that gives you many details about the hardware at a glance, such as temperature, headphone volume, and whether lights and fans are on or off.

The main board powering the operation is the Raspberry Pi Pico. It’s connected to a 12-LED NeoPixel ring that powers the main helmet light, a few buttons, a potentiometer to adjust the lights and volume, as well as a set of fans, temperature sensors, and of course the OLED display.

You might be wondering how practical the OLED display is inside a helmet, but it apparently worked just fine with no complaints after three hours of trick-or-treating. Grimdaria placed it on the nose of the helmet to keep it as far away from the eyes as possible. It has a resolution of 128 x 64 pixels and features a combination of blue and yellow.

This is one of the coolest ‘Fallout’ themed projects we’ve seen; especially when considered an unforgettable Halloween experience. If you want to take a closer look at this magnificent thing Raspberry Pi projectCheck out the original thread shared reddit by Grimdaria.
