  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.

Uploading the Pattern

• Install USBasp driver on your computer
• To upload a new image, hold down the RESET button, press and release the BOOT button and then release the RESET button
