I started working on a servo kit for the helmet rangefinder.
The base with stalk - 3D-printed protoype. This one is for the Target Rubies helmet, but files for other bucket types will be made available for print.
Here's a video of the servo in action:

- another micro-controller in your gauntlet or anywhere else, wirelessly
- a button on your helmet
- or control it with our mobile app
We're looking at releasing the kit at the beginning of the year as an add-on/community contribution to our costume technology platform, CosTek

I would love to get your feedback on the control methods and other types of connected electronics you would like to see in your costume.
