the most amazing RGB propeller clock ever seen

Wow, this is really impressive. I could see it being mass-produced and you guys making a fortune off it xD

wonder if u can make a low res vid desplay hooked up to video plaer

No you can't, we explored this possibility and we need to display image already stored in the rotating arm. Otherwise it need to much speed (compression and everything...) and more expensive microchip needed.

This is mental

This is really impressive! Congratulations! How long did it take you to develop it? You must be a really good programmer, did you do it in C? Have you considered replacing the uC and buffers with an FPGA to lower the cost?

@bigos75 Hi. The working prototype (without the modes and all the stuff) was ready after 2 weeks. But the entire project about 8 month. All is programmed in ASM for a fast execution code. Special pointers technique is utilized here, and impossible to do in C. Also, the realtime 3d routines (not shown in this video, see my other video) is made in ASM without floating point. Really fast. FPGA are too big to place on this thin board. and tle Atmega here cost about 4$ in QTY 100

look up the LED rims videos... those are sick compared to this

@hobguy7996 the programmation here is 100 time harder than a spinning rim. this is a realltime conversion from circular to cartesian. the rim don't have to process that hard realtime conversion.

Yes, the arm is ballanced
