Materials
Materials:

- Pumpkin!

- Super Bright LED's- I used regular LED's, and I think it would look a lot better with the super bright type of LED's

- Some kind of Micro-controller board - I used the Parallax Basic Stamp two because that was what I had, but I'm sure the Make Controller or some other type of controller could be used as well.

Nails- These will be used to hold the Micro-controller board onto the side of the pumpkin, you might not need these depending on how your controller can be mounted

Optional:

Computer Speaker- this will serve as an amplifier for the small speaker that comes with the Micro Controller

Tools:

Knives
