Open-Source POV Candle (Tiny Volumetric Display)
This project is an intriguing fusion of creativity, technical expertise, and innovative application of modern electronics to simulate the flickering of a candle. It uses an RP2040 board for control, a 3D-printed battery holder, and a high-speed rotating array of LEDs driven by a DC motor.
The brilliance of this project lies in its use of persistence-of-vision to create the flickering effect, delivering a visually impressive result with minimal components and clever software techniques. It captivates not only with its practical functionality but also with the inventive problem-solving and hands-on construction that transform a simple concept into a sophisticated creation.
