https://github.com/hansjny/Natural-Nerd/blob/master/arduino/torchlight.ino

This is one of the longest DIY projects we've done so far, but it was worth it in the end! It only took 2500 bricks in total to make this magical fantasy castle with torches burning around it. The Arduino code is available above if you want to make some flickering flames yourself! I made the environment with the tiny tree, epoxy river and mountain in a previous episode, also linked above, if you wanna check that out too.
