It’s not unusual for me to transform my whole front yard into a Halloween haunt with everything from props, lighting, lasers, fog, and sound. So I spent a month of weekends putting this together (and a few week nights). This is actually a great little control system problem. This experiment ended up being about 11 props run by 9 Wi-Fi Arduino boards. The best way to tell you what this does is to show you.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Every day this month we’ll be bringing you ideas and projects for an Electronic Halloween! Expect wearables, hacks & mods, costumes and more here on the Adafruit blog! Working on a project for Halloween this year? Share it with us on Google+, in the comments below, the Adafruit forums, Facebook, or Twitter— we’d love to see what you’re up to and share it with the world (tag your posts #ElectronicHalloween). You can also send us a blog tip! Tune in to our live shows, 3D hangouts with Noe and Pedro and Ask an Engineer, featuring store discount codes, ideas for projects, costumes, decorations, and more!
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat and our Discord!
