MiniPOV3 Kit

Step 8Customizing.

Customizing.
There's a good list of instructions at the official site and more specially about customizing here. It's easiest and quickest to do in Windows, but there is software for OS X and Linux as well. Check out the links above for details. An overview follows:

-- You get the latest WinAVR. Install it.
-- Get the latest MiniPOV source. Extract it somewhere like C:\minipov.
-- Use Tool 1 or Tool 2 to generate a custom message, and save the file as mypov.c in the directory you extracted Minipov.zip.
-- Plug the MiniPOV into your PC's serial port and turn the MiniPOV on (lights stay off)
-- Start/Run, "cmd," cd c:\minipov, "make program-mypov"

These are overly simplified. Again check out the links for more detailed instructions (no sense in copying everything here).

Hola, me parece que tendrías que contactarte con los creadores. Este chico solo está siguiendo las ideas originales para hacer su aparato.

El indica más arriba que hay que dirigirse a: http://store.makezine.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=MKPOVKIT pero, si mal no recuerdo, allí te envian a una sede web propia.

Ellos venden el equipo básico y creo que hacen envios por correo. Luego, combinando los manuales de esa sede con lo que hizo este joven, podés tener una idea buena de como armar tus proyectos.

La moda, creo que viene de Japón. Usan unos aparatos más pequeños para enviarse mensajes o dibujos.

Suerte con tus ideas.
alberto
