It's time to grab the most terrifying Raspberry Pi board ever devised this Halloween!

The assembled Halloween PumpkinPi is a programmable LED board designed for any maker or hacker. It's a fun option for those new to coding with the Raspberry Pi, or even experienced users who want a bit of fun this scary season!

The Halloween PumpkinPi is fully assembled (no soldering required) but you'll need to code in your LED pattern to get your pumpkin terrifying the neighbours!

We've got some example code to start you off which runs through a pattern on the 12 LEDs, but we can't wait to see what you come up with!

Don't want to code? Check out our soldering kit which runs from a timer chip (non-programmable).

Important! GPIO Orientation

The PumpkinPi should face away from your Raspberry Pi as per the image below:

Quick Start

Run the following commands in a terminal window to get the example script up and running, then create your own code using the GitHub library and GPIO Zero.

All PumpkinPi code should be run using Python3.

git clone https://github.com/modmypi/Programmable-Pumpkin/
cd Programmable-Pumpkin
sudo python3 ants.py

    It works, it’s fun, and the provided code examples are enough to get one going.

    I just tried with the example runnable scripts from the GitHub and it works well. And it looks nice too.

    Nice product. Just plugs straight into your pocket and with the code linked from the product description, it’s easy to get up and running.

    Bought the pre-assembled device. First challenge, which way round to fit it on the GPIO pins without frying the device or the Pi? Couldn't find any guidance for the pre-assembled kit so looked through the instructions for the build-it-yourself kit. Found and followed the illustration at the end and it worked fine. Just noticed a picture in Nov 2019 Magpi Magazine p87 with one fitted the other way round. Now just need to do some research to figure out what the code in the example files actually does. Given that this is presumably targeted at young children, I suggest some more expansive documentation, including more explanitory comments in the example code, would be helpful and allay fears of frying kit.
