There is no schematic this time because we used pins 2-9 and a ground pin - pretty simple!

If you're looking for easy Arduino projects, you've come to the right place. This is a step by step arduino build of a POV LED arrray display. I will be using Arduino IDE to progam a POV display to send a message by waving a wand (wooden dowel rod). For this project you can use Arduino Uno, Nano, or Mega. I realize that not attaching it to a fixed motor is probably not ideal, but it was fun to build and use in dark areas. Check out the video and let me know what you think!
thanks for watching~

While a POV wand isn't perfect, it was a lot of fun building this...and who doesn't like LEDs?!! I will be exploring other POV display options and I hope you check it out! Thanks for watching
