Eye of Newt

Eye of newt, and toe of frog,
Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg, and howlet's wing,--
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.

This guide is based on the Uncanny Eyes project by Phil Burgess, with a Halloween-y twist.  We'll build an electronic eye as compact and small as possible.  Put it in a wide-mouthed jar and add it to your potion shelf, or attach a leather thong to wear it like a pendant around your neck.  

This is a fairly advanced project that requires fiddly soldering in a small space and uses delicate parts.  There's a good bit of software setup needed also.  You can add custom images and tweak the code if you'd like, or just copy and paste our code as-is.  It's not an easy project, but the end result is so incredibly cool that it's worth a bit of hard work!

Note: the OLED screen doesn't video well -- the refresh rate makes the animation look flickery on video.  This is not a problem IRL -- the animation looks buttery smooth and delightfully creepy in person.
