My Halloween Project

[cody33rd]

Uses 1 LE(not even all the channels)
This is my first blinky flashy project.  After I watched a lot of Halloween display videos I decided to use the KISS method.  Many displays had a lot of different mouth shapes for different sounds.  Although they looked great I decided to simplify it for a rookie.  Should be fun for the neighborhood trick or treaters.

Looks great - hard to believe it's your first project - looking forward to seeing more in the future.

You put in just enough to make it work and work well.  Very good.  Now let's see how long you can keep it that way

Looks great.  How tall are the pumpkins?  They look to be about 1 foot tall?  Can we see the back side of them?

Looks great!

Any chance for a quick how to or picture set on how you did your pumpkins?

@trekster  The biggest pumpkin was made out of a 18"X24" 4mm black piece of coroplast.  The other two were cut out of pieces that big.  I would post a picture of the back, but I broke my camera at Scout camp.  I am not sure when I will get another.

@inzeos  I printed out a 3/4" grid pattern to help with spacing.  I kept every thing square to keep it simple.  I marked out my patterns with a pencil until I got what I liked(the kids helped design some of it).  Then I drilled holes in the coro with a harbor freight dremel knock off that I bought years ago.  There are probably 1001 ways to punch or drill holes into coro.  I even read somewhere that one guy melted holes in with a solder iron.

Cool, thanks!
