I have just built the dongle as per the details on the site, but there seems to be a problem.
The parts list shows R1 as 47 Ohm, R2 ~ R4 1K Ohm, but the image shows R1 as 1K Ohm and R4 as 47 Ohm.
Then I check the circuit diagram and it shows all 4 resistors a 1K Ohm, which should it be?
I cannot get communication to the Spoke PoV, LEDs do not change, status bar does not show progress.
After exiting from SpokePOV.exe I get an error telling me to check SpokePOV.exe.log but it does not produce the log file.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Its all working.
Ok, finally got the comms working, problem with the giveio.exe
I have downloaded and tested the images submitted by MUX http://www.ladyada.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=687
All work a treat, the litter image is cool.
Is there any way of increasing the LED scan rate? four or six sets per bike is a bit way out.
Might have to get a second board to balance out the weight of the single board as it causes wobbles.
Once I have been able to get an image of the full display instead of just part of it, I will post them. Any tips on taking images using digitl camera?
Next I am plnning to test with 2 pin RGB leds with onboard auto colour changing.
Bye for now

Re: Its all working.
one board should not cause wobbling on a reasonable bike. the wheel itself is pretty damn heavy.LED_Lighting_Company wrote:

the scan rate is set by the wheel spin rate..so just bike faster
