NeoPixel colors in a Jack-o'-lantern
Another simple, fun project, building on what I did with the NeoPixel Skull. This one started when I saw an "eyes that follow" optical illusion project on Instructables by member jacobjoaquin. I was really interested in the optical illusion, but decided to put it into an artificial pumpkin instead of a box, to make a jack-o'-lantern.
The Adafruit NeoPixel library is required for this project.

For the arduino, I used a generic Arduino Pro Mini compatible microcontroller, controlling a NeoPixel Strip. A Step Down Buck Converter is also used. See the schematic for more information.
Copy the directory MTM_NeoPixel into the libraries folder of your arduino sketchbook and restart the arduino environment. Then open Examples -> MTM_NeoPixel -> jackOLantern. The example is very simple. Modify anything you want and compile/upload to your board.
