Progress Report

For the mask, I have obtained all of the sensors, most of the actuators, and all of the outer mask materials. Fortunately, all of the actuators use a simple analogRead to get input and all of the actuators I have worked with before.

As you can see the Myoware sensor output an analog signal that was easily mapped to the Neopixel.

For the mask materials, I purchased some snowboard boots and have reformed those into the front part of the mask.

I also created an interior of the mask that will house the servos and actuating third eyelids. I opted for the third eyelids as they are more reptilian than eyebrows or eyelids. I created several iterations of these using cardboard but, due to most laser cutters not allowing particle board, I was unable to create a final cut of these.
