Hello, this is just a little experiment with the propeller.
I wondered, if it would be possible (for me) to make a display with a rotating mirror and the 10 LEDs bar of the Propeller RPM.
Here are the results.
The mechanics is lego-based. The 9V Lego Motor - horizontal drives the vertical axis of the mirror via bevel gears. - See first picture.
There is a fork light barrier system to measure the speed (last picture) and to get a trigger for every revolution. The system actually works at about 5,5 revolutions per second.
The mirror is a plastic foil and is rather light.
The resolution is 55*10 pixel. - Thanks a lot for the character set!
The pong game can be played and at the beginning there is some greetings displayed.
Have fun!
