Animated Spooky Pumkin Eyes #ElectronicHalloween
A seasonally appropriate pumpkin with eyes watching every witch way. Shared by SpecialRobotBuilders on Instructables:
A couple of years ago while looking for inspiration for a new animated Halloween prop we stumbled upon a video from YouTube contributor 68percentwater called Arduino Servo Pumpkin. This video was exactly what we were looking for, however, some of the details seemed to be missing. So, we decided we should record our build, with some modifications, so that others could follow along. The first modification that we made was replacing the real pumpkin with a craft store foam version. For us this helps in two ways. First, no sticky mess. Second and most important, it’s reusable. However, this decision means that other modifications were needed.
