Arduino Dead or Alive
Trick for treat .. the illusion of proving you are alive .. and alive enough to even enjoy a treat.

This particular project is a carry over from a request to simply 3D print a heart for a 4th grade class demonstration -- and after negotiations negated instead reanimating a heart in a lightning storm .. uh, with an Arduino obviously .. we (me) pitched a pulse driven beating heart .. that in turn rewards your having proved to subsist, with a treat.


Ingredients
Arduino Uno
Servo
(2) 10K Potentiometer
LCD Display
Pulse Sensor
(2) 330 ohm Resistor
1000 uf Capacitor
Piezo Buzzer
2N2222 Transistor
4007 Diode
Neopixels
(2) Toggle Switch
MDF



Notations
1. 'Clear watermelon' filament .. (>_ლ)
2. Censored #$@*!$#% about people, places and things.
3. Extensive modification of https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/mod... by Profesor D.
4. Did not earn a TVShow episode bcz .. it had been done.
5. Original concept included a candy dispenser that required evidence of life.
