MiniPOV kits!
I've designed a simple 'no-microcontroller-programmer-needed' minipov. I'm sending out the PCBs to be made tonight!

Please help!
I am very excited about making my own minipov, and so far I have managed to get all what's needed from Digi-key. But I still need the PCB, and I'm stuck on the Advanced Circuits website, as I upload your 2minipov.zip file, I am asked to identify each one of the files ¿¿¿???? and I have no idea about those , please help me, there are five gerber files, all of them with the same name 2minipov and different filename extensions, which are: 1) dim, 2) drd, 3) drl, 4) gbl, 5) gtl and according to Advanced Circuits I have to identify its kind as either of these: Top Silkscreen, Top Soldermask, Soldermask (same both sides), Top Cooper, Bottom Copper, Bottom Soldermask, Bottom Silkscreen, NC Drill, Drawing/Other. Please Ladyada help me out.

How will you program it? USB? This will be very cool.ladyada wrote:I've designed a simple 'no-microcontroller-programmer-needed' minipov. I'm sending out the PCBs to be made tonight!

Re: MiniPOV kits!
no. using the parallel port (the parallel port plug is soldered on the side) its a common 'cheap & simple' way of programming atmel chips. ill have the webpage up today or tomorrow with most of the info and a picture of my prototype.The_Hushed_Casket wrote:How will you program it?

you absolutely can use the '245 to make a microcontroller programmer.
Unfortunatly, i think its too tough for people to solder
however, it would be really cool if someone basically wrote an STK500 compatible atmel programmer using the IgorPlug "bitbang USB" code.
That way you'd have a USB programmer, but with a DIP chip!
maybe ill add that to my Big List

16F630 asm code
Hi All
Iam new here and came across this circuit for the MINIPOV which looks really cool.
I downloaded the code, but now if I understand the code it might have a problem or something missing, I could be mistaken. Has anyone built this MINIPOV using the 16F630?
What web site are you guys talking about?? Culd i have the url please.
Also what IC are you going to use?? Seems like you not going to use the PIC.
Thks

Ok w00t..i've put up the minipov2 site:
http://www.ladyada.net/make/minipov2
theres instructions and schematics as well as source code & precompiled firmware.
i really think this is much easier (& cheaper overall) than the old version

ATtiny2313
Hi All.
Iam unable to get a ATtiny2313 locally here. Seems like its not a very common componet around this end of the world.
Anyone willing to POST me one. I shall pay all costs, else IOam able to get a 16F84 PIC and I have a programmer.
Can someone help me if possible to use this PIC to build/change this design to work on the 16F84.
Thanks
Gary

I want to do this:
Here is my bike:

Please tell me how.
I've got a store-bought unit that'll do pretty much what the miniPOV will do, but I need full wheel graphics. Adding a couple frames of animation would be pretty neat too, but that's secondary.
Thanks
