The Arduino and the servomotors are powered directly by the batteries. These are controlled by the Arduino via pins 5 and 6 (PWM pins). The touch sensor can only be powered with 5V, that's why it is powered by the 5V output of the Arduino, and is connected to pin 2 of the Arduino. As for the LEDs (the eyes), I simply power them with pin 3 of the Arduino in order to be able to modify their intensity. Finally, I put a switch in order to be able to turn everything on/off.
UPGRADE N°1 :
I first removed the switch and the battery box (more annoying than anything else and not powerful enough) to be able to power the helmet more easily with a laboratory generator. Then, I added the voice recognition module by supplying it with 5V, and I connected it to the Arduino: The TX pin of the module on the RX pin of the Arduino and vice versa, the RX pin of the module on the TX pin of the Arduino.

L'Arduino et les servomoteurs sont alimentés directement par les piles. Ces derniers sont controlés par l'Arduino via les broches 5 et 6 (pins PWM). Le capteur tactile ne peut être alimenté qu'en 5V, c'est pourquoi il est alimenté par la sortie 5V de l'Arduino, et est connecté à la broche 2 de l'Arduino. Pour ce qui est des LEDs (les yeux), je les alimente simplement avec la broche 3 de l'Arduino afin de pouvoir modifier leur intensité. Enfin, j'ai mis un interrupteur afin de pouvoir allumer/éteindre le tout.
AMELIORATION N°1 :
J'ai tout d'abord supprimé l'interrupteur ainsi que le boitier des piles (plus embêtant qu'autre chose et pas suffisamment puissant) pour pouvoir alimenter le casque plus facilement avec un générateur de laboratoire. Puis, j'ai ajouté le module de reconnaissance vocale en l'alimentant au 5V, et je l'ai connecté à l'Arduino : La broche TX du module sur la broche RX de l'Arduino et vice versa, la broche RX du module sur la broche TX de l'Arduino.

amusing, and without a doubt, you've hit the nail on the head.
The issue is something too few men and women are speaking intelligently about.
I'm very happy that I stumbled across this during my search
for something regarding this.

I want to make this project. I saw your remix on thingiverse where just the ear was adjusted. Do you have the code for this where the whole project is the same as the original from boxandloops, but where the open and close butten is replaced by the touch sensor. So the battery, servos, on and off, button and arduino nano every stay the same in code and model. The touch sensor needs to be the only change in the code and models. I saw on your hookup diagram that there was no ON- and OFF button, did I saw this right? Or is that button still there in model and code? Where can I find the code for only this simple upgrade / remix? (No microphone or speaker)
Thanks

I don't have the code for Boxandloops on which I only changed the button with the touch key, and there is no code just for this remix. I think you just need to change a condition and add a while(...){} to implement the touch sensor.
There is no on/off button/switch on my version of the helmet, because I plan to make a complete armor for which there will only be one general switch. However, it is entirely possible to add one to open/close the circuit at the battery level. Best regards.

The dimensions are not quite the same, so the 3D model may need to be adapted slightly to fit the MG90S. Other than that, there shouldn't be any problems. Best regards.

I am trying to get this to work using only the touch sensor and not the voice module. Would you be willing to share your original code before you added the voice module? Thanks.

I added the first version of my code in the "helping links" part. You should be able to download it. I hope you enjoy making this project as much as I enjoyed making it.

I find the project very exciting and have already printed, assembled and wired it. However, I have problems with the program code. The servos do not stop at the point, but repeatedly move from the closed to the open state. I am still a beginner when it comes to programming an Arduriono. Maybe you could also publish your program code?
Best regards

The page concerning the project is still under construction, but I added for you, the code of my project. In fact, the values of the angles for the servomotors are different for everyone. I therefore advise you to modify them yourself so that they correspond as much as possible to the positions in which you want your helmet.
I was super happy and proud of myself after making my own helmet, so I hope you will too! If you still need help, I'll do my best. I wish you good luck in your project. Best regards.
