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!
