In this quick maker project the pumpkin gets some basic electronics that have some animated RGB LED lights a motion detection sensor and sound. It detects if trick-or-treaters are approaching the house and plays a scary scream and flashes the lights. It's really rewarding for such a quick projects that can be built easily with kids. All is controlled by the esp32 microcontroller that can be uploaded with the code linked below from the Arduino IDE. All the other parts are simply attached without much effort. The electronics can be easily applied to other Holiday projects. Have Fun!

![DIY 10 Player Game Console [ESP32, Arduino, AV]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/VvkpKVtYKmk/mqdefault.jpg "DIY 10 Player Game Console [ESP32, Arduino, AV]
This video shows the development of a 10 Player game console.
JLCPCB Prototype for $2(Any Color): https://jlcpcb.com (sponsor)
For quite some time I wanted to build a console for many players to play some mini games on parties. Going to the Maker Faire I took the opportunity to test ist with many people. The main processor is the ESP32 microcontroller that can be programmed using the Arduino IDE. Since I already developed a library for VGA graphics and emulated a PAL signal in the past I extended my library to support composite video too. The code isnt finished yet since I need to add color, but nevertheless I was able to implement a quick game to play with the visitors on the Maker Faire.
Here are lists of the related videos:

![Smart Ping Pong LED Lamp [Quick&Simple DIY]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/WlkMbNnIECM/mqdefault.jpg "Smart Ping Pong LED Lamp [Quick&Simple DIY]
This LED lamp is a quick project that can be done within a day. Only a few cheap components are needed to create a nice looking ambient lamp. No programming is needed, only the WLED firmware is uploaded to a micro controller via a simple tool. A 3D-Printed version simplifies the build process a lot but the cardboard version is also quickly made and can be made huge in size.
WLED is open source and provides many IoT interfaced including a web front end and an app that allows to control all the lamps in the local WIFI.
