Hand-powered POV

Category: Electronics

This week I’ve been working on a POV. It’s my first microcontroller project ever and it has been very interesting. The microcontroller I used is an Atmel ATMEGA16 programmed with an Atmel AVR Dragon.

The next step is to make it turn arround on a motor and calibrate itself automaticly with help from a base-placed IR-diod. I have even talked with a local company that will hopefully provide me with a bluetooth module to make posible dynamic text change from mobile phone or any other bluetooth device.

For those who don’t know, POV stands for Persistence Of Vision.

Here are some pictures and the code.

    you need current limiting resistors on each of the leds. thats why your “H” got that bright stripe
