Below is my MikroElektronika BUGGY Halloween Project. It uses 3D printing, Arduino code, NeoPixels, and a robot.

So I have a Buggy and I decided to give it a costume for Halloween this year. I drew up a ghost design and 3D printed it. I put a some LED’s inside to light it up and controlled the LED’s with another microcontroller. The control of the buggy is done by using the an app on a smart phone. I was able to grab power from the BUGGY to power the microcontroller. I had to put some paint on it to prevent the light from emitting through the plastic, so the inside is black.

Now to go and drive it around with the kids.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Below I have photos, parts, the code that I used, and the Onshape file.

Parts:
BUGGY 1471-1646-ND
MICROCONTROLLER 1528-1374-ND
LED’s 1528-1610-ND

Code: (A modified version of the simple code give for the NeoPixel library)

#include <Adafruit_NeoPixel.h>
#ifdef __AVR__
  #include <avr/power.h>
#endif
#define PIN            9
#define NUMPIXELS      7
Adafruit_NeoPixel pixels = Adafruit_NeoPixel(NUMPIXELS, PIN, NEO_GRB + NEO_KHZ800);
int delayval = 500; 
void setup() {
  pixels.begin(); 
}
void loop() {
    pixels.setPixelColor(i, pixels.Color(255,0,200)); 
    pixels.show(); 
    delay(delayval); 
  }
}
