POV Display using Arduino

In this project, I will show you how to build a simple POV Display using Arduino Nano. This POV Display Project can be modified to display any text on a rotating LED Display. There are few Spinning LED Display modules available in the market but I thought why not make one myself.This simple POV Display is implemented using Arduino Nano, few LEDs, an IR Sensor, couple of LiPo Batteries and few other components.

Introduction

We have already seen a project based on the concept of Persistence of Vision or simple called as POV. That project was the 8x8x8 LED Cube. In that project, there are 512 LEDs in the cube but as it is difficult to control all of them at once, I was controlling 64 LEDs at a time and POV does the rest of the magic. Coming to this project, here the concept remains the same i.e. tricking our brain to believe that an object is present while it is actually not. A POV Display or a Rotating LED Display is a simple concept where we light LEDs at a variety of sequences in order to get an illusion of a Text being displayed.I will present this project as a DIY type article with all the necessary things like circuit diagram, components, construction and code. First, let me begin with the circuit diagram of the POV Display project. But before that take a look at the output.
