Pm sentIf you start building these id be interested. I can fix a Harley all day but doing something like this scares me.

https://youtu.be/o-dgdkh8jdk. Just need to add power on off buttons

I almost have the Python version finished. Just need to add GPIO capabilities

Probably then. You got me interested. Let me know. May need a mini ampCHIP is a little $7 mini computer. It is a lot like Arduino, except it has wifi, blutooth, and a standard speaker jack. A bit bigger than the micro, but I have one sitting around, so I might as well try.

Probably but I don't know how to make those and I know I like making things. LolHmmm. I wonder if I can do about the same thing with a CHIP.

well i never had any luck with good audio thru an arduino (this will run the C++ that i have already developed) but youd be looking at
https://store.arduino.cc/usa/arduino-micro -$19.80
https://www.adafruit.com/product/1944 -$15https://www.adafruit.com/product/3351 -$4
+ wire for your setup -$4
ultra micro switches from E-switch or C&K like 5$ with shipping for 5 switches small enough to fit in the fingers of my glove)
Once i can get the Python working you can use the Raspberry pi zero (limited availibility) but thats only 10 bucks so half the price of the micro..
plus this
https://www.adafruit.com/product/3346 -$13
if you were to buy all of this youd kinda have to teach yourself how to use them (honestly not that hard if your technologically savy and keen on learning)
if you wanted me to build it for your in the same way im planning mine ( the battery and audio processing will be on my wrist under the glove with a speaker around my neck on a collar of sorts.)
maybe add a little for labor? havent really thought about that yet.
though if you know anyone that can code well in python i will totally help you build one for cost+shipping
id have to get enough people on a list if i was to make them as shipping to me (in alaska) is horrible.
sending you both a link to download the code.

In the code or the platform?

also if interested there is totally the possibility of me building you one!
Though in the interest of your shipping fees, you would provide your own battery. ( i live effectively on an island and lithium batteries don't agree with transport via air)

Hello a while back I acquired ionicdesign's audio file for Darth Nihilus' voice. I have taken that file chopped it into 39 audio files and labeled them in three sections, short, medium, and long phrases. Then I wrote a c++ program that plays it upon button input to select the short medium or long functions. I'm also attempting to develop one in Python for use on raspberry pi (cause I learned windows dependencies don't work on pi)
I am currently offering the full c++ program to do with as you wish including the chopped up audio with the original authors permission. Let me know if your interested.
This code will be distributed free!
if you find someone redistributing this for cost its definitely not from me!

You don't need to get the extremely stiff stuff though

Take a trip to JoAnn's or your local fabric store. It's like a class fabric that has structure. Used to make things like fabric bags stand up.

How have people been doing the sound rigs?

I did mine with a layer of interfacing. (not batting).

That doesn't mean it's approved for 501 use. I've never seen an approvable hilt for either Nihilus for sale in general area I'm looking at having one machined for me.

For KOTOR I think that would probably be fine.

My gml said that one that's similar will work. I got approval without a saber at all. I made one out of a aluminum foil core tube. Used a magnet and a small steel inside a hidden belt to hold it on when I'm not using it.

I've got the Nihilus audio files if you need them. I recommend just using a MP3 player and looping the audio...I'm not sure you could recreate his voice/lines even if you tried. It sounds a lot like someone speaking and then replaying it backwards.
Toss me a PM with your e-mail address and I'll toss em to ya.
any chance you still have these?

Very creative I wouldn't have thought of that. I made a worbla crown. The way it's strapped on allows me to kick it up for quick facial access. Was wonderful at Seattle comicon.I had gotten a wide plastic hair band and built the corner horns off of it out of eva, craft foam and some scrap Sinatra.
The eva foam is used for the base corners with 2 or 3 mm craft foam layed over to get the shape. The scrap sintra or pvc foam board is glued to the head band and is shaped to your head.
As you see from the image above the craft foam is cut in a triangular piece bridging the corners and the back of the head. This gives the flattop look to the character.

@DarthCephalus I absolutely will..
ill post it here if i get something a little less mad sciencey
though as a not to all readers future and current i live in AK so you will have to provide your own lithium battery and possible do the soldering for it.
