| [[User:Michiexile|Mikael]] wants to carve pumpkins!
| | #REDIRECT [[Soldering Workshop]] |
| | |
| == Overview ==
| |
| | |
| Halloween is coming up, and with a suitably placed [[Soldering Workshop]], what better way to prepare for the gourd-filled festivities than by soldering your own pumpkin hack?
| |
| | |
| With the bits we carve out of the pumpkins, we might even be ambitious enough to start cooking meals for the crowd - pumpkin soup, pumpkin pie: the possibilities are endless!
| |
| | |
| == Project ideas ==
| |
| | |
| Some things one could make with a pumpkin and some electronics:
| |
| * [http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2008/10/darkdetecting_pumpkin_lig.html Darkdetecting pumpkin lighting]
| |
| * [http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2008/10/freakyscary_arduino_hallo.html Arduino-controlled multimedia pumpkin] - probably on the more advanced side
| |
| * [http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2007/10/arduinopowered_pumpkin.html Proximity-sensing pumpkin]
| |
| * [http://www.instructables.com/tag/keyword:led/?sort=none&q=pumpkin&limit:type:id=on Several LED-enhanced pumpkin projects]
| |
| * See no evil (darkness-activated glow), Hear no evil (theremin-pumpkin), Speak no evil (Sound-to-light-pumpkin)
| |
| * [http://hackaday.com/2008/10/21/flameless-jack-o-lantern-with-an-attiny13/ Flameless jack-o’-lantern with an ATtiny13]
| |
| | |
| == Cost (and logistics) ==
| |
| | |
| We need to buy the pumpkins and to get enough components for the stuff people want to do. [[User:Michiexile|Mikael]]'ll dig out a few cool projects from Make:blog and other sources, and post expected costs for the resulting kits and for pumpkins.
| |
| Hauling the ''pumpkins'' though is going to need a bit of coordination - not possible to lug on buses from Palo Alto :-) - we need to get someone to help out driving it all to the space.
| |
| | |
| In the end, you'll be paying for your pumpkin, and a few $ worth of electronics to put in it.
