  • DIY Kit contains

  • Component Placement

The colorful Persistence Of Vision (POV) kit enables you to create colorful messages in air with just 8 LEDs. This kit is great introduction to soldering and AVR/Arduino Programming. The kit does not require a external programmer, it is self programmable with USB.

Solder it!

  • Image above shows the layout of various components for the board. It is also printed on the PCB.

Arduino Code

Arduino Code will be uploaded soon.

Pattern Generation

To create an image/patterm, you can use the POV image maker application. Maker.PNG

Uploading the Pattern

  • Install USBasp driver on your computer. Note that the it will show up as not recognized if the reset sequence is not followed

Reset Sequence for uploading new pattern/image

POV Reset Sequence for uploading new image
  • Perform reset sequence every time you connect the kit to the computer.
  • To upload a new image, hold down the RESET button, press and release the BOOT button and then release the RESET button as shown below.
  • Note the LEDS will stop blinking once the kit is detected by the computer.
