+ | Through the bluetooth receiver, the Arduino can be connected to an Android device, such as a phone or tablet. This authorizes you to instruct the Ardiuno to modify the values displayed. The Bluetooth module will show up with its default name, such as "HC-06," if the name has not been altered. | ||
- | ===== Rezultate Obţinute ===== | + | Once I install the app, I open it and I see a list of all paired devices. I press on the one corresponding to the name of the Bluetooth module and wait for the devices to connect. Now, I should be able to change the LEDs to different expressions by clicking buttons on the screen. |

+ | The Wrench Mask WD2, built using Arduino, utilizes the **delay** and **timers** functions to control the timing and duration of LED illumination, creating captivating visual effects. Additionally, it incorporates **serial communication** to establish a connection with a compatible device, allowing customization of the LED patterns in real-time. | ||

- | Care au fost rezultatele obţinute în urma realizării proiectului vostru. | + | The result of my efforts is a fully functional, Bluetooth-controlled Wrench mask that offers an immersive experience. I am pleased to report that the mask includes 48 different set expressions that can be controlled with blinking and transition animations for a realistic look. The best part? It closely mirrors the in-game character, which was the primary goal of this project. The journey was long, but seeing the mask come to life made it worth the effort |

+ | ===== Conclusions ===== | ||
+ | I embarked on this journey to recreate the iconic light-up mask of Wrench, a character from the game Watch Dogs 2. There were already some fantastic tutorials out there, but I believed there was room for improvement. Inspired by these existing projects, I decided to build and code my own version. The process was challenging and took a month to complete, but I was satisfied with the outcome. The final product has several unique features, like being wirelessly controlled via a custom-built Dedsec themed Android application, having 48 preset expressions with blinking and transition animations, and the ability to draw custom expressions, display messages, and adjust speed and brightness. The mask is portable, powered by a single, easily replaceable 9V battery, and closely resembles the in-game character more than most other tutorials I have come across. | ||
