Sure, the animated eyeball that ships on the Adafruit Hallowing board is spooky…but “you wanna see something really scary?”
Move around an invisible spirit board (aka Ouija board) that can be seen only through the Hallowing’s screen. The onboard accelerometer reacts to subtle tilting to scroll about, or touch one of the capacitive fangs to have the oracle spell out a message on its own. With a little Arduino know-how you can customize the messages! Add a lanyard to make a cool Halloween fashion accessory.
There’s also an explanation of how this sort of buttery-smooth™ animation is accomplished.
