Product Information

Mechanical assembly plays a main role in proper functioning of this project. The display is displays the time by rotating the whole assembly in a circular path. ATmega32A has an 8-Bit Processor and it has 32K of program space, 32 I/O peripherals. It runs up to 16MHz with external crystal. This devise displays only the time. Therefore we can modify this devise for display date besides time. Before cutting any strands, make sure the LED's are all straight. if a few seem crooked, just apply heat to the solders you made to straighten them out. Careful not to burn your fingers!

(propeller_posn==45) There are two external interrupts in ATmega32A named INT0 and INT1.These INT0 and INT1 external interrupts can be triggered by a falling or rising edge or a low level. Here we use external interrupt 0 (INT0). Mechanical Assembly Next, solder the positive ends (the bottom bending strands). For these, solder the hole that the strand comes out of.

User only can do the time adjustment when propeller is at the rest of condition. Therefore a remote system can be used to set time and date. (propeller_posn==50) This motherboard contains the ATmega32A microcontroller and all other requirements to get it in to working condition. Also this contains a programing port which allows programming the microcontroller using USB programmer. PORTA and some pins of POARTB are connected to LED panel and POARTC is used to connect push buttons. The wire outs for the daughter board were left through 12-pin connector. Figure 6 and Figure 7 shows the PCB layout designs of motherboard and the list of components are found in the Appendix C

Here is a speciality of this project. usually, we make a POV display using a big, high-speed Dc motor because our POV circuit runs on 9v or another little bit weighty battery. After that, the soldering begins! Be very careful when soldering the digital pins; it is very easy to accidentally connect to digital pin connections. Soldering here can be challenging, so I recommend using electric tape to keep wires still when soldering. There are many ways to enhance this devise with many other added features. Or it could also be used for some other project as a basic component. Repeated scanning of the display is necessary for continuous vision of image. This task is achieved using continuous circular rotation of the whole circuit assembly. Therefore a DC motor has used as the prime mover. All types of motors used to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy. Motors can be found in VCR’s, CD players, toys, robots, fans, etc. The motor performance is very important in circuit design. This is because the electrics motors directly affect its speed and pushing capability.This code will display RS232 ASCII transmissions from a PC and display a scrolling message board. The following picture shows an example "Hello World!" message, but it does no justice compared to the video below. The Arduino code could be modified to do things like the following: (propeller_posn==35) V DC voltage provided to Mother board using 9 V regulator circuit. User can plug a 9Vdc-24Vdc range DC power supply as the power source of Motor. Minimum 500mA and Maximum 1000 mA current supply must provide to Motor to get a proper rotation speed. I decided to dust off this old classic project and bring some improvements from what I have learned from the older versions. The biggest problems with the first 3 versions I built many years ago is that none of them really lasted more than a year or two because the slip rings or brushes wear out and cease to conduct current for the spinning board. Even the brushes inside the DC motors wear out and they simply quit running. Also I used to have trouble programming PIC microcontrollers and not to mention that many of the code I'm used to for PICs were written in raw assembly code. No more!

Flip the pixelmap for the time to be readable at the top or bottom (there is a #define constant already in code to select). Flip the pixelmap for the message board to be readable at the top or bottom (there is a #define constant already in code to select). Remove the Arduino programmer and apply power to the POV base and motor. That's really all there is to it! The System was able to display the time with digital type on the rotated LED display and system can display seconds, minutes and hours separated with ‘:’ sign.Before you begin to solder, you will need to cut 8 wires and strip both sides of each (only a small length needs to be stripped). Try to use your best judgement for how long each wire should be based on its distance from its digital pin and LED strand/pin. (propeller_posn==40) (propeller_posn==15)

Now, Mount the whole project to a chipboard with the help of a toy DC motor. Keep in mind that if you use a powerful motor for high speed, you may use a 9V to 12V battery instead.

Version 2 (January 2005)

Display pixel graphics transmitted from the PC. Instead of translating a RS232 character as an ASCII bitmap, the RS232 character could potentially represent pixel values in a column. A PC running software (C code, Python or your favorite script, LabVIEW, etc.) could translate images into RS232 messages that this display could show.
