Tiny POV

Details

This is my second attempt to build a POV display PCB-less with an ATTiny 13. In the first attempt, the LEDs were hanging freely on wires. However, without anchoring the wires break very quickly while shaking.
This time i glued the LEDs on the backside of the tiny.

It works…

… but it lacks a synchronization. Here is my attempt to catch a "Hello":

After soldering, i covered the wires with some superglue. That's why the result looks a little glossy. No, it is not remaining solder paste :-).

Very nice, there's another Tiny POV. It's a build from Nikolai Uzunov. He used an ATTiny13 on a small breakout board and a push button between GND and reset.

I have added the link to the source code to the project description (https://github.com/jensh/attiny-tiny-pov). If you are happy with "Hello", you can flash pov.hex:
```
avrdude -v -p attiny13 -cusbasp  -Uflash:w:pov.hex:i
```

I have attached a "ball tilt sensor" to the reset line (pin 1). Unfortunately the sensor is larger than the display itself. Here is the video. Still not impressive compared to what it looks like in real life. But it's getting better.

Right on the back of the chip. Love it. ;-) I was thinking about one of these to use up my spare LEDs from the cube. This is brilliant lol. :-)

Are you sure? yes | no

After seeing your 4³ cube, I think about putting a cube with 0402LEDs on the back of an ATTiny44 :-).

Are you sure? yes | no

That would be awesome. I'm building a 0402 cube right now, its 4mm wide, projections look like it will be under 5mm in all dimensions.
It hurts ;-) I wish you luck sir!

Where can I find the source code?

Are you sure? yes | no

Hello Hans. I had to extract it from a repo with 1001 other unrelated code snippets. But finally here it is: https://github.com/jensh/attiny-tiny-pov

Please post photos of your creation!

Are you sure? yes | no

That is so simple and so awesome. I am going to make one this afternoon when I get a few minutes.

Are you sure? yes | no

Does the superglue act like nail polish and make the circuit waterproof? I dont think id want to find out at any rate. Damn, thats nice soldering though...

Are you sure? yes | no

I have used stranded wire without insulation and the wires to pin 2 and 3 are crossing each other. Super glue is used as insulation but also to reduce vibrations on the wires. "waterproof" is a good idea - Thanks!

Are you sure? yes | no
