Is it possible to pre-program messages in the MiniPOV3 and then select from these message by giving a digital input to the onboard microcontroller? My use case includes 4 hard-coded messages, but I'd like to be able to select between these messages via an input (possibly multi-bit) input.
Thanks,
Zach

Re: Programming MiniPOV3 Output with Digital Input
connect a button to the sensor, perhaps? then when you press the button it would advance to the next message?

Re: Programming MiniPOV3 Output with Digital Input
adafruit, I'd like to do something along those lines. What pin on the MiniPOV3 should I connect the button output to? Is there a pre-programmed way to advance messages, or do I have to write that code myself?
Thanks,
Zach

Re: Programming MiniPOV3 Output with Digital Input
There are solder pads marked "Sensor" on the board. You would have to do some coding to make it work.

Re: Programming MiniPOV3 Output with Digital Input
arduwino, how does the sensor pad work? Does it need a clock and data line? Or is it active high/low? Where can I find documentation on what to solder where and how to program this functionality?
Thanks,
Zach

Ther schematic is here: http://www.ladyada.net/images/minipov3/ ... 3schem.png
You would wire your pushbutton between the sensor line and ground. You would enable the internal pullup resistor in code. There is sample firmware for testing the sensor here: http://www.ladyada.net/make/minipov3/download.html
