Using motion detectors and an Ardunio you can add a little extra wow to your Halloween displays this year. This article covers the circuits and the code to make that happen.

He’s provided a wiring diagram in the repository along with the Arduino code for the ESP8266, but the hardware side of this demonstration really isn’t that important.

As usual I’ll be using a NodeMCU board (I really did order a lot of them) which uses an ESP8266, but there’s no reason this would be difficult to achieve on an Arduino-based device.
