vishalsoniindia on instructables makes an awesome eye pendant using an ESP8266 and TFT display that will certainly turn heads this Halloween.
I made an uncanny eye pendant, which is scary at first sight. In the pendant, a real-looking eye mimics a real human eye which looks cool. You can wear it on your Halloween costume to add some spice to it. This pendant is so simple and good looking so you can wear it on a normal dress too. The pendant has an on/off button and a switch so you can turn it on when you want to show up in front of people. It also has Micro USB charging so you can charge your pendant when it’s discharged.

Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
That’s a cool project, I know y’all have lots of eye projects for your TFTs, if I was going in public this Halloween I’d consider loading one up on the CPB + TFT Gizmo.
