The Floating Spooky Ghost

My creation is a 3D-printed ghost that appears to float while holding a balloon.

My creation is a 3D-printed ghost that appears to float while holding a balloon. It features a rotary encoder that allows you to turn the ghost off or change the song. The ghost has two eyes that move around and blink, and the built-in LED lights flash in sync with the music to create a spooky atmosphere. One major challenge I faced was fitting all of the electronic components inside the ghost and the balloon. To solve this, I cut a hole in the bottom of the balloon. To manage the light, its two wires, and the resistor, I connected them by hand and secured them together using tape. Inside the ghost, I taped down the buzzer, face, and light. Because the OLED display did not completely cover the eye cutouts, I sanded down the inside edges for a better fit. I initially built the circuit on a breadboard to test functionality, later connecting the components permanently using male-to-male and female-to-male jumper wires. Just when I thought the project was complete, the ghost fell over! To fix this balance issue, I 3D-printed a blue base to securely anchor the balloon's rope. Finally, I taped wires heading to the same destination together to tidy up the workspace, ensuring the "Floating Spooky Ghost" looks clean and appealing. The most annoying part was when I was about to submit my build and I accidentally clicked on one of the projects below and EVERYTHING was gone including my code:(except the real version. I took two whole days trying to get it back but just made it worse so I am just glad that I still can submit this!!
