Spooky Arduino 8x8 LED shields (Skulleyes)

As a halloween sketch idea, I'm making some eyes for a skeleton head I picked up at Michael's

• Raven's head manor by Celebrate It Halloween collection at Michael's
• Adafruit Small 1.2" 8x8 LED Matrix w/I2C Backpack - Yellow - Quantity 2
• Adafruit GFX Library
• Adafruit LED Backpack Library
• Fritzing - Arduino designer from Portsdam, DE

The adafruit library and instructions were top notch and running as soon as I connected the wired. I wasn't sure if I could run two eyes in parallel but it was pretty easy. Perhaps by using different analog outputs I could have the eyes work independently.

Followup: I uploaded the combined MP3 player and eye animation code on GitHub: Skulleyes.

Updated video using Leonardo and older version of Skulleyes/Skulleyes.ino.

Followup: Die roller / skull eyes combination: SkullDieRoller
