Summary of A modified version of the “Air diplay” adapted to be used in a bicycle using PIC12F629 microcontroller
Anthony from Cumaná, Venezuela built a Persistence of Vision (POV) bicycle display inspired by the Air Display. It uses a PIC12F629 microcontroller, runs at 3 V, and shows fifteen Spanish messages. The PCB layout marks resistors in yellow, red LEDs (recommended) in red, and a jumper beneath the PIC. A downloadable HEX file is provided for programming. The design is a modified Air Display adapted for mounting on bicycle wheels.Parts used in the Persistence of vision bicycle display:
- PIC12F629 microcontroller
- Red LEDs (multiple)
- Resistors (multiple)
- PCB board (custom)
- Jumper (located under the PIC)
- Power source (3 Volt supply)
- Mounting hardware for bicycle wheel
Here is the PCB with each part of the project. It uses a 12F629, works with a voltage of 3Volts
This is the PCB top view to determine the location of each part. The yelow ones are the resistors, the red ones are the LEDs (works better with RED leds) and there is a jumper under the microcontroller PIC 12F629.
