Trouble with built POV

Post by torontoscott »

just built up the POV kit. the problem i am having is when i put the batteries in to test it, it goes through the test sequence fine but 1 LED from each side stays lit after the start up sequence. also when i pass the magnet pass the sensor, they turn off for about 6 seconds then come back on.

i don't have the proper cable to hook it up to my computer yet, do you have to program the POV before you use it?

all my solder joints look good, and all the LEDS work in the right sequence its just that 2 stay on and it doesn't seem to respond to the magnet in the right way. the resister packs look to be in the right way, they aren't black like your pictures but yellow.

any suggestions?

sounds like its working right. you have to program in an image. right now they come 'empty' although soon i hope to have a rig for having them come with some images built in!
