My SpokePOV turns off while riding

Post by soren »

Thanks for the new software; I had given up on my SpokePOV I built months ago and never got to work, and was going to throw it away, but now with the new software it works great... Except...it turns off while I'm riding. It seems like every 3 minutes, I have to stop and turn it back on.

I read the little thing about automatically turning off after 3 minutes, but I assumed that was 3 minutes of inactivity. Mine turns off after 3 minutes of riding and having the image come up. Any idea what's wrong?

Actually, no...I was just testing it so I loaded the pacman to the first frame only. I guess this means I should load stuff into all 4 frames then?

The one frame works just fine and looks great, until it turns off of course...

Thanks!

exactly! :)
i tried to make it really clear in the instructions: the spokepov doesnt know if you want to have an empty image or just forgot, its quite stupid and simple.
all you have to do is upload the same image 4 times and youll be good to go
