Ghost Rider Halloween Costume -- Episode 574

It was a dark and stormy night, a lone engineer was prototyping in their workshop. For this Halloween Special, Andy combines a range of effects to make flames and a glowing skull, all triggered by a motion activated remote control.

A hot project :-) I really enjoyed how it grew and got strapped into a backpack.....all my projects start out small and with workscope-creep, need a truck when Im done. :-)

I wonder if there is an easy solution to the lack of PWM outputs when using Arduino with the Nano 33 BLE, the underlying chip should be capable of doing this, it has 3 PWM modules with 4 outputs each. A similar board is the Adafruit ItsyBitsy nRF52840 Express which might be the answer for the main board and perhaps Seeed XIAO BLE nRF52840 for the remote. I had originally picked the same boards for both remote and main to avoid having communications challenges.

The NRF52840-DONGLE might also work
