This DIY Deadmau5 mask makes the usual toga/hobo/cowboy costume look pretty pathetic.
Everything is complicated, though, and this Deadmau5 mask is no exception. It uses a netduino micro-controller and a Bliptonics spectrum analyzer to listen to the audio played from any input. When no music is being played, the eyes will flash at 132 BPM. When music is on, the eyes flash to the beat of any strong bass sounds under 100mhz.
It’s powered by a set of 9v batteries.
If you’ve got a cool electronic music themed costume this year, let us know with a comment below!

In before hate.
Cool project, my sincerest respect to people who can and will wear such a thing (bonus points for forcing a claustrophobic friend to wear this mask in a stuck elevator). Only thing that bugs me: Why do people call microcontrollers xduino? The whole xduino thing is just a platform that uses an AVR ATmega micronctroller. It would be like saying that the Nintendo DS uses an iPhone as a processor (because both these device's processor are based on ARM cores).
Funnily enough I'm DJing a "halloween rave" gig and a friend of mine and I have been working on one of these. At least it is similar to it.
We had made a good one last year for another halloween gig but this time we modded it and decked it out with some lights and an arduino I coded to work with an audio input.
It's basically an LED flasher. That's it really. I just had to punch in a few lines of code and then run an audio out signal into it.
It isn't as nice as this, but it definitely is fun 🙂
Btw: Inb4 deadmau5 hate. I love him. Hes a funny guy who is good at what he does, and nobody can deny that.
wow look at all the deadmau5 guardians.. do you guys have a secret handshake?
fight the power!
100 mhz bass? Ha!
They mean 100hz. M is for million.
haha neat! how can i make one?!?!
i want this
