Retrobrad Presents! A Spinning LED display!

This display uses just 8 RGB LED's to create the illusion of an 8 x 85 pixel display.

hi! can you give me the schematic diagram of your propeller and its source code? I need it as soon as possible....please..

@arth1786 You can get all the details on how to build your own on my website. just check out my channel for the link.

I have also made an updated version that I have posted to instructables. Just goto the instructables web site and search for one chip pov

omg that looks awesome , like it is edited in boujou or after effects :) , though it's real.What controller are you using for the LED's , that must be some serious hardware

[00retrobrad00]

@TheKaos90 Thanks!

The images are edited in a basic excel spreadsheet that allows you to select different colors and then draw them into an 8x85 grid.

The hardware is quite basic and you can find all the details to make this project on my website:

(just click on projects and then 8x85 POV display)

I am not sure to be honest, It just involves a little bit of trial and error. If the image looks way to small (because the delay is very short) then you will need to increase the delay. Did you design your own or did you make this one?

Man, you should mail Time Warp to let them film it with their high speed cams...

[scarabeus79]

you rock!

[Carliiitozz]

hello, your project is very interesting and I would like to know about your diagram and code that uses what I could provide you entering your website but no details on this will really appreciate it if you give me infor about your project my email is darkboy.devil @ gmail.com thanks and good video (Y)

Did you use clear leds or diffused ones?

[MrNeoFromMatrix]

can you send me the code and shematics ?

thanks

i can see these being used as signs in the future. hundreds or thousands of smaller, brighter LEDs mounted on a spinning thing on a 15 foot pole used to make really good looking signs, like in a shopping mall showing where key areas of the store like the food court is or something. also for advertisements. im surprised its not really being used right now

hey brad, I have a question, hmn, firstly, i am a newbie in the field of microcontrollers, hmn,, i would just wanna ask if a hex from a project would still run in a different microcontroller? example, in ur "the great race" project, u used pic16f628, i wanetd to use the hex file of it in my pic18f1320, what changes do i have to make? or it ist okay if i just load the hex file to it and just re-arrange the pin out to match the pin out of that of the pi16f628...

thanks,,,

So easy to create so many cool effects with LED lights. I dont get why companies dont start doing this out side their stores,floor tiles,wall,etc.... I like to go to a theater and see out side real big letters the Theaters name in those type of light effects.We are in 2011 and no one is doing nothing cool.Everything needs to start looking more and more futurastic.
