I know I’m a year late but this is genuinely a great video. I’ve watched Frankly Built and other RUclipsrs and still had questions, but you went over everything and I really appreciate the attention to detail. Definitely earned a sub from me. Darkwing Dad u rock dude, keep doin u 🤘
I built two of these now and today i started to build a helmet using "samurais motorization Kit" it bassicly uses elastic band instead of those helper arms so its much easier to install. Just as a tip. (I haven't finished building mind Yet)
Nice job. Not sure if people know this, but if you read the instructions for the board, the power isn't supposed to be connected via usb to the board. The power bank USB is supposed to be rewired for a just connector that fits into the power in port so the board doesn't fry out. Usually the usb is meant to upload the sketch from arduino only. You can also double with crashworks too
They recommend hardwiring which is mentioned in the video, not sure if using the usb would have altered effects. On the old boards I had it run through the usb & never had any problems but I supplied the hardwiring part in the video so it’s done to manufacturer standards.
I printed a mark 6 helmet and got the crashworks boards and everything works great but when the servos loose tension after opening the faceplate the faceplate just falls back down.
The Battery you listed Miady 2-Pack 5000mAh Mini Portable Charger, Power Pack with 5V 2.4A USB Output, Power Bank. Does it stay on all the time with the mask or will it randomly shut off? Why i ask is because crashworks3D Now sells the boards with a Penelope board for the power banks not to shut off but i didn't buy it :( so i need a battery pack with Always On function and these are on sale :).
@@Darkwingdad Awsome thanks for the information I got the mini v6 luckily hahah just confused me because they sell that other board with it on there eBay.
@@Darkwingdad Awsome I really appreciate you getting back to me it’s my first time doing something like this, Thanks for making this video it helps alot.
@@Darkwingdad I’m going to install the switch in the jaw and wire it to a jst connector and then when I put on the jaw piece I can just plug it into the other end of the switch wire while the jaw is attached and just tuck in the wire.
I have a question im building an iron man kit to but my servo works opposite from each other how can u fix this does the alisha board dix this problem and reverse one of the servos?
Out of curiosity where do I find the correct magnetic reads which, also what would be the best way to extend it to another part of the suit (just extending it down to the arm)? if so What product would that be to extend it?
amzn.to/3EHJn7r I find these to work the best. All you have to do is extend the wire from the switch port on the board (2 wires) to each side of the reed switch
Is there a way to stop the usb power bank from turning off? I have it hardwired the same way you do and I don’t have a way to turn the powerbank back on unless I took off my helmet and pressed the power button..the power bank turns off after about 30 seconds and it’s the same one you have! If you have any advice it would be greatly appreciated!

I really appreciate the kind words! I always try to go above & beyond & cover all the essentials! I’m glad it helped!
Thanks for all the nitty gritty details and walthrough, DW!! Well done and much appreciated, sir.
I expect all 49 suits you’ve built to be opening and closing by Friday lol
@@Darkwingdad LOL that's a tight deadline XD
Thanks for sharing, it helped a lot the advice of using spacers. Now it works like a charm!
Awesome to hear! Thanks for watching
Thanks for this. I want to do a War Machine build and this will help get me started.
I’ll be doing a war machine video. There are different hinges but same concept!
I built two of these now and today i started to build a helmet using "samurais motorization Kit" it bassicly uses elastic band instead of those helper arms so its much easier to install. Just as a tip. (I haven't finished building mind Yet)
Nice I haven’t seen that done yet! Thanks for the input!
can I get a link to the kit
Tremendous!!! Incredibly thorough!!!

Is it comfortable to wear? Seems a bit uncomfortable with the big motorization box and stuff.
Padding helps. I don’t think there every fully comfortable lol it’s the price to pay haha
@@Darkwingdad Fair enough, haha. As long as it's not too bad I guess.
Do you glue the jaw to the rest of the helmet? (Great video)
Yes or plastic weld
So does the board have a specific amount of travel it lets the servos go, or do the servos just stop at a certain point or when it feels resistence?
They have a start and end pin & rotate 180* you just have to set the guide at the right point
@@Darkwingdadif I turn the servo manually they just spin with no stopping point
I printed a mark 6 helmet and got the crashworks boards and everything works great but when the servos loose tension after opening the faceplate the faceplate just falls back down.
@@Bikes_And_Birds sounds like you don’t have it tightened enough, also did you get the mg90 servos?
Same problem. If I get it to open it just falls back down. I've tightened all screws and it still does it. I think I have the same servos you used
Doh!!... I am gonna have to go print another 87 iron man masks..

This new board will keep the battery awake, it has Penelope built in just get the am 6 mini.
@@Darkwingdad Awsome thanks for the information I got the mini v6 luckily hahah just confused me because they sell that other board with it on there eBay.
@@JayzStudio yea that’s for there old boards that didn’t have the awake feature. These new ones have a lot more built in
@@Darkwingdad Awsome I really appreciate you getting back to me it’s my first time doing something like this, Thanks for making this video it helps alot.
@@JayzStudio anytime man! That’s what I’m here for!
Are the servos pre-programmed?
The board is yes
Hey how could I mount the switch for the helmet open/close in the jaw / lip area? I know sometimes it’s best to detach the jaw if I’m gonna put it on
If you’re detaching the jaw you really can’t bc the switch is wired
@@Darkwingdad I’m going to install the switch in the jaw and wire it to a jst connector and then when I put on the jaw piece I can just plug it into the other end of the switch wire while the jaw is attached and just tuck in the wire.
where do i get these cables for the wiring.... like the swithc able and such. idk what theyre called
All cables & what you need are in the description with links
I have a question im building an iron man kit to but my servo works opposite from each other how can u fix this does the alisha board dix this problem and reverse one of the servos?
They are hardwired right now?
@@Darkwingdad i mean with just the regular servo that come out the box the one is turning clockwise the other one is turning counterclockwise
@@dennisschroen8417 reverse the polarity of one of the servos & they’ll both go in the same direction
So i need to hardwire them then ? Or not sorry im really new in this
Do you have maybe a video from this ?
How big of a battery (mAh wise) do you suggest for a self contained helmet?
1000 will more than suffice
Did you have to mess with it to scale it to fit you? My buddy printed one of a mk2 and neither of us can slide our heads in.
@@ccontegni yes I used armor smith to scale it
Great video!
Thanks!
The video was helpful except the blue wire harness it came out of know where and was not listed at the bottom in products used
That’s the input switch

amzn.to/3EHJn7r I find these to work the best. All you have to do is extend the wire from the switch port on the board (2 wires) to each side of the reed switch
@@Darkwingdad Thank you for your fast response! 🔥. What wires on Amazon can I order?
@@Darkwingdad I guess I should say which type of wires are used to extend the switch
@@timetestedmedia4304 amzn.to/3Vzd80a 29 gauge wire is all you need! This can be used throughout your suit to add lights etc
Does anyone know why my servos have no stopping point? They just spin and spin and get tangled in the wires
@@frankbright2533 are they hardwired?
Where can I get the electronics in the UK
You’d have to contact crashworks for shipping
Ok thanks, love the videos even though I haven't printed anything as yet
@@daipower1 I could always send the boards too if crashworks won’t send to UK
@@Darkwingdad that's awesome thanks
Excellent! Where do I buy that awesome T-Shirt?
You can contact mike at crashworks! They are comfy!

You’re not using the arduino board?
just buy a battery and a battery charger board its cheapper and light weight than a power bank
Any plans for speakers? I can’t seem to find any tutorials on that.
Wait for the thanos helmet….it’s coming
@@Darkwingdad 🤗🤗
cual es el emlace de descarga del casco?
Ahi tienes mi amigo! discord.gg/S7SGeuxS
thanks for the tutorial, my only issue is i can't see shit with the leds on XD
Are you using the dimming feature?
@@Darkwingdad not yet im waiting for the arduino nano to arrive at home
Where can I get the mini board?

Sorry but this seller haven’t the type you use in the video. He have just more complex type
@@travelandtech920 crashworks carries numerous boards including the one used in the video
@@Darkwingdad thank for your answer, can you please give me the right link of yours, i need to buy 3 but i haven’t see it
👍👍💯
