3D POV display ... work in progress

This is an ongoing project to make a "3D" persistence of vision (moving LED) display. There are 8 sets of 8 LEDs in different layers which render a memory mapped plot volume 8x8x64 points. Video shows random point plotting, but the idea is to get it to display some fun sprites.
64 SMD LEDs driven thru 8 74hc595d shift regs and an Atmega328 with Arduino booloader running the show. Power fed through a 3.5mm audio jack (an idea borrowed from someones else POV project)

@VJFranzK - cheers! the tune is me messing round in Reason trying to get something to groove in 9-time

[nextblain]

any tutorials for us?

[hotchk155]

@nextblain I am thinking of trying to make some tutorials, what would you like to see a tutorial on?

[Esurname]

Nice work, a few extra layers and some RGB leds, and anything is possible, It reminds me of the 2D 'metronome style' POV clocks. you could make a 3D version now..

@hotchk155 thank u sir for replying, well a tutorial on how to make a basic pov display and little coding wud be very much appreciated!

Awesome!

[johnjay6370]

Really cool nice job.

[PaaliaqMusic]

Very cool! Plus "8 74hc595d shift regs and an Atmega328 with Arduino booloader". No idea what it is - but I love it!

[CptCredible]

Really awesome, this would be really cool to use for eg music visualization!
