i actually had a friend from cal tech help me, he's getting his PhD in EE soooo lol. but basically things you need are:
24 gauge solid wire
1 x 100 ohm resistor
1) Remove covers and remove all batteries
2) the chest light will be the center where all wires will meet
3) the spring ends on the battery compartments will be ur positive
4) wire all the arm LEDs and head LEDs' positive into the chest's positive
5) wire all the arm LEDs and head LEDs' negative into the chest's negative
6) have a long positive and negative wire come out from the chest, this will connect to the USB
7) find a USB cord and cut it up, u only need the positive and negative, solder the 100 ohm resistor into the positive side and then solder the wires from iron man.
8) You can use a switch as well and micro deans connector for easy disconnects.
Oh yes, to hook up the wires to the arm, head, etc I just curled the wire and kind of looped it around the spring part.
I never did any kind of voltage or current tests, but just based on what i've seen other people do, they use mainly 100 ohm resistors, I think if you did not use any resister then you might blow out your LEDs. I have left mine on for hours yesterday and nothing has happened.
