Iron Man suit upgrades - Help/guidance

Projects General Guidance

Hello everyone!

I was recently introduced to Arduino, and it's exciting!

The reason I was introduced is that I want to make some upgrades to my suit:
Short Video (4 Seconds)

The upgrades I would like to make are:

  • A small screen that tells me the time, back-lit (possibly on/off through a small contact in the fingers?), mounted inside the helmet forehead area
  • A second small screen that tells me the power levels remaining
  • A bluetooth connection so I can answer my phone while in the suit (I can use an existing headset if that's easiest however), but it would be awesome it this could be incorporated to have caller's name come up on one of the screens and have finger contacts control the answering/hanging up.

I was unable to find something that covers all of this in my search so I apologise if this has been done before.

Thank you in advance!

Ben

Suit looks awesome! For screens, you probably want an oled. Google oled arduino. If you find something you like, come back and ask about that specific display. Arduino is not suited for bluetooth audio so it is best if you just use an existing headset. You could take it apart and wire its buttons to other parts of your suit though.
