Final Project: How to make a Smart Helemet

Idea

I decided to change my Final project in Week 6 because I was very inspired by the movie,
'How to train your Dragon 3" and I really liked the sketch I drew from that.

Using Fusion360, I rendered a couple design.

Programming

From my struggles I found a simple public accelelrometer example with neopixels by Tony Dicola.
I adapted his code and customized it with my project, adding on prequisites.
I hope to develope it more to work with photoresistor and have better input reading.
