The one chip RGB POV Display

[brad]

My current project which will be finished within a week is the one chip RGB POV display.

You may have seen my 8x85 POV display I made a couple of years ago, well this one does everything that one does and more!

What's so special about this one? well this one uses just one chip rather than seven compared to my previous version.

Full details still to come including a vb.net program I am writing to allow you to import and draw your own images for it

Looking forward too seeing this one working are you programming it using swordfish?

[brad]

Yes indeed!

Thats a great project ... can't wait to see it working. Will you add it to your projects after so I could make one ?

Its coming along and will for sure be finished this week (I have a deadline!)

Here is a screenshot of the graphic converter I have been working on which allows you to import pictures and then convert them to binary data which you then program onto the microcontroller:

Well my week has been busy working on this project, I am trying to get it all finished for the instructables deadline this Sunday.

The graphic converter is coming along nicely and it not only outputs the code to be programmed to the microcontroller for you, but it shows you what the image will look like on the 3-bit RGB LED display.
