RGB SpokePOV

Post by catpants »

Hello,

I would very much like to build an RGB SpokePOV! Especially one that can play a few frames of animation. It must be done! Can I buy a kit? Do I gotta design the PCB myself? (possible, but time consuming) How do I get started?

Also, I noticed someone posted recently on the same topic, and were asked how many colors were they trying to get. This is basically like asking what is the resolution of the DAC to be used, right? 256 color seems like it would work well. One 8 bit DAC per LED, 3 bits for red, 3 for green, 2 for blue. How many LEDs on this thing? 30 or so? So 30 DACs per SpokePOV? Seems reasonable. Perhaps power consumption might be a bit high. Can you get chips with like 10 x 8 bit DACs?

Thanks!
