Final thoughts and links
10/29/2021 at 13:17 • 0 commentsSo for only finding out about the contest with 7 days left, I think I did okay. If I had to do it again, I come up with a more cohesive design for the interior. But, Sid the sandwich Ghost was just too cute not to use. Also if any of you attempt this, a bigger bit of acrylic would be ideal, but it works.

POC
10/25/2021 at 04:21 • 0 commentsto test the pepper's ghost I added a LED to the bottom of the pumpkin, and then added the parts that would normally hold the Pi and screen
still waiting on a few things to print, but if I hold a bit of shiny plastic packaging, we can see the LED appears to be floating upright in the pumpkin
