About the design
A pumpkin with deep ribs and a snarling carved face stands on a black base that holds three AA cells and a Raspberry Pi Pico, with a tunnel for the Pico's USB cable. A deck covers them, seats the pumpkin and carries a NeoPixel ring that lights the pumpkin from inside. The stem sits on two pins. The pumpkin and its stem are 3D Werkstatt.ch's sculpt, scaled up to fit the electronics.
