Ver 3.0 - Visor Electronics

Well, I finally got the linear servo conversion units for the Futaba S148's :-D
 and a hot-rodded Hyperdyne board that allows full voltage to the eye LED arrays and full slew rate to the dual servos!!

The first video describes the layout and geometry and the second one shows it in action...
The beauty of this actuation method is that it can be laid on its side and thereby reduces its overall height almost by half. The second benefit is that it keeps the actuation rods away from the face, minimizing risk of injury.

Now that this is proven, I need to devise a temp placement method into one of the helmets to complete proof of concept once and for all.
