Tested the POV project that has been demo'ed in class. Being very clumsy in sewing, sewing the Lilypad USB neatly takes up quite a bit of the time!
Sew slowly....
Still doesn't look too neat
at least they are somewhat in a line!
Okay...
I
used the demo code for text and here's my text message "LOVE!" I
wonder why the bottom rows not always visible, but I guess that's quite ok too,
people can try and guess what message I'm trying to send? [laughs]
POV is such a fun thing to do, but I do thing
it needs a certain enhancements and improvement. The first thing I would
improve is how we can view it. Now I'm just waving my device so others could
see the message. I may make it attach to another wave device or a message board
that can move my POV device from left-right or vice versa so the message can be
viewed easily without someone waving it manually. I would also attach a
little pouch for the battery so it can hold the battery and not dangling
around.
Perhaps I could make a toggle that I could
press so it can change message shown on the device too, so by this I can toggle
what message I wanted to show, or even a button to press, for example, press
once, show what alphabet, and eventually display a message by pressing another
button when it's done. A delay of time could be added to the between of these
messages too.
I could imagine this not only become a
message/image display, perhaps also a way for some content for reading, a new
form of e-book, but a short one, as flickering might not be too healthy for the
user!
