The obvious solution to the DC motor problem is to use a brushless DC (BLDC) motor for quiet long-lasting operation. BLDC motors are commonplace in the quintessential PC fan that are everywhere and inexpensive. Unfortunately, trying to source a simple brushless DC motor by itself without any attachment to something else like fan blades, disk or CD drive turns out to not be as easy as I thought. I even considered the BLDC motors used in quadcopters, but those are designed for very high RPMs and require a separate motor controller that typically expects PWM. Furthermore, I did buy and play around with a quadcopter BLDC motor. It turns out that running a quadcopter BLDC motor at low RPM produces a high pitched whine, which is clearly unacceptable for a display that is not supposed to annoy everyone near it. In the end, I decided to use a 60x60mm PC fan as the motor and designed a base PCB around it. 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. All that’s left for you to do now is carefully remove the strip of cardboard and the first strip of double-­‐sided 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.

(propeller_posn==30) Display fixed message strings without needing the FSK circuitry or a PC transmitting over RS232 (there is a commented out snippet of code in the example to do this). 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!Conventional methods of displaying images or massage to public are using LCD display and dot-matrix LED displays. Propeller LED display is a special kind of device that project an image, text or time as if the images are floating in the air. Actually the floating images emerge by synchronizing LED’S blink to form an image at particular time and rate. An Infrared LED (IR), also known as Infrared transmitter, is a special purpose LED that transmits infrared rays with nanometer range of wavelength. IR transmitters along with IR receivers are commonly used as sensors. The appearance is same as a most common LEDs. Remove the Arduino programmer and apply power to the POV base and motor. That's really all there is to it! Bend the LED strands as shown. It is very important to bend the legs exactly as shown, or the positive and negative can get mixed up.

delayMicroseconds(450); // for the gap between LED pixels/minutes markers (change the value according to motor speed. Increase for low speed, decrease for high speed motor)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. (propeller_posn==50) (propeller_posn==25) Now insert the resistors and bend its leads the same as you did for LED’s. Cut the extra leads accordingly.

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. 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.

Recommendations

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. (propeller_posn==5) 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: In short, an interrupt is a way for an external (or, sometimes, internal) event to pause the current processor’s activity, so that it can complete a brief task before resuming execution where it left off. Since the phototransistor is only triggered by the IR radiation, an IR LED must be placed nearby. The intensity of the IR radiation determines how much current is generated in the photo transistor. Therefore a large current must flow through the LED to create a higher intensity. Figure 3 shows an IR LED circuit.
