How hard would it be to sync three SpokePOVs?

Post by surfsmurf »

By designing one as a master and connecting it with two wires (signal + ground) to the other ones. When the master decides to change frame it send a high signal to the other two which will then switch frame next time they encounter the magnet.

Does the processor have a spare digital pin that can be configured to in or out? I'll be happy to tinker with the firmware myself if I can get some hints regarding the electronics.

Sounds like you're having trouble syncing multiple SpokePOVs for animation also.

there are at least 2 extra pins on the microcontroller that are unused

I though so, care to look into which pins? If you don't have the time I think I can find them myself.
