Making Halloween lights controlled by a microcontroller

Adding two sets of Halloween lights to a Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller board. I implement several patterns. I explain how I use the microcontroller board, how I connect the lights, the diagram, and the associated C code with functions for a seven segments display, a button, and lights control.
