The PCBs and components have arrived, and everything is looking great! I’ve completed the first panel, which holds a dozen of the POV displays, and I’m really pleased with how they turned out. My goal is to manufacture at least 100 fully functional units. I have enough parts on hand to build around 120 units, but I’m being realistic—my yield likely won’t be 100%, so there may be a few casualties along the way.

I plan to keep building until I completely exhaust my supply of parts. But once I hit that 100 unit milestone, I’ll consider the project a success and officially wrap it up. It’s been quite a journey bringing this idea to life, and seeing the displays assembled and functioning feels incredibly rewarding. I can’t wait to see how they perform when they’re all in the hands of users!
