Question 3 years ago on Step 2

Hi. Thank you for the great post. Project is awesome! The only problem is that persistenceofvisionproject.com webpage is expired currently. Can you share another way of accessing ARDUINO IMAGE SKETCH GENARATOR TOOL and instructions?
Thanks a lot !

Question 3 years ago

Could you replace the hall effect sensor/magnet with a simple timing circuit to enable the same effect? The reason I am asking is that I would like to hold the end of the string of LEDS in my hand and spin them around in a circle (like a fan or the bicycle wheel) to create the POV effect. Do you know of any way to determine the timing other than the hall effect sensor? Thanks for the great post.

Very well done, thank you for sharing it.
What do you think about GIF files, some animation would look fantastic. Is there a way of doing it?
