What it does

HardHatBoy supports 3 modes of operation: Party Mode (boom boom and bling bling): play party music and light up LEDs Assistant Mode: Answers general knowledge questions Sorting Hat Mode: Assigns you to your team

How I built it

Attach a raspberry pi, switches, speakers and LEDs to the Hat. Connect it to the awesome DrQA server from the Dialog Revolution team. Have a smart hat!

Challenges I ran into

Installing big pip packages on the raspberry pi is a pain. Connecting to audio stuff on the pi with python can be more problematic than expected Wires that don't work

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Building the world's first smart and safe hat

What I learned

When stuff doesn't work on the raspberry pi, get a new one! Don't trust cheap wiring!

What's next for HardHatBoy
