  • 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!

POV Reset Sequence for uploading new image
  • Image above shows the layout of various components for the board. It is also printed on the PCB.
  • The image sequence shows, how to mount and solder components!

Component Layout

The image shows reference numbers for all the components.

  • From the table below find out the exact part for the reference number.

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.
