V1.0 - SpokePOV hacking
I received my SpokePOV kits from Ladyada
I've been thinking about how to adapt these for use in my BonsaiPOV project. This won't "grow" in any meaningful way, as I hope the final will do, but should provide a decent platform for designing the form.
This is my first hack for the SpokePOV. I know I want to layout the LEDs in another configuration, not 2 parallel rows. I figure that it's easier to leave the LEDs on the board and pipe the light elsewhere with fiberoptics. My solution to that was to drill right into the LED lens and epoxy the fiber into it. This worked surprisingly well, as the light hasn't spread very far from the reflector where it strikes the end of the fiber.
