A VL53L1X time of flight sensor is hidden inside the base that detects when an object is nearby. Different audio is played depending on the distance, making this an advanced prop that's more than just a typical store-bought Halloween amusement.

You may customize the CircuitPython code to change the distances, servo movement, sound effects and more.

The KUSTFYR LED table lamp from IKEA features a bright LED bulb with a pumpkin themed lamp shade that has two screen printed faces. This project utilizes the stock LED bulb and pumpkin, brought to life with the Adafruit PropMaker Feather RP2040 and CircuitPython code.

The 3D printed base features unique details that are inspired by gothic architecture. The parts are designed to snap fit together and are printed without any support material, making for an IKEA-esque assembly.
