Halloween, the happiest day of the year for makers, is fast approaching! For the next 30 days of October we’ll be posting new #ElectronicHalloween guides we’ve been working on at here at Adafruit! We’ll also be featuring spooky and sparkly projects from our community. We encourage you to send us your ghoulish and glowing gear tutorials, creepy costumes, and whatever tricks (or treats!) you’ll be brewing to prepare for the big day!
