• Am I missing something or where are the instructions?

  Anyway this looks good, but putting the electronics in a gooey pumpkin seems so messy. An option is a plastic pumpkin and then you can use it again next year without cleaning off old pumpkin guts.

  ISTR foam carvable pumpkins at the store last year that looked pretty good.

• i think the pattern was slow because you forgot to burn the fuses when you progammed the microcontroller. its one of the tabs in the AVRStudio software when you program it. uncheck the button that says "Divide clock by 8" and it will run 8 times faster :)

• This is a cool project and looks like it can be rolled into other applications and toys. BUT WHERE'S THE INSTRUCTIONS??? I tried downloading the PDF, but after an hour I gave up. Can someone email it to me? mcuman@frontiernet.net
