For this project I have chosen to take an LED light and us it to light up a tiny pumpkin. Halloween has always been my favorite holiday and I have wanted to create a mini jack-o-lantern for the longest time but I could never find a candle small enough for the side of Jack-O-lantern I wanted to make so I came up with this idea.

STEP 1 Get Your Materials Together in the Area You Will Use to Create the Product

-Elegoo Board

-LED Light Sensor

-Tiny Pumpkin

-Code to make the LED work

-knife

-Arduino

Code that will be used
void setup() { pinMode(1,OUTPUT); pinMode(2,OUTPUT); pinMode(3,OUTPUT); pinMode(4,OUTPUT); pinMode(5,OUTPUT); pinMode(6,OUTPUT); pinMode(7,OUTPUT); pinMode(8,OUTPUT); pinMode(9,OUTPUT); } void loop() { int i; // 1st pattern repeat 4 times for(i=1; i<=10; i++) { digitalWrite(i,HIGH); delay(50); digitalWrite(i,HIGH); delay(50); } for(i=10; i>=1; i--) { digitalWrite(i,HIGH); delay(50); digitalWrite(i,LOW); delay(50); } delay(1000);

STEP 2 Put Elegoo Board Together As Instructed Below
