i'm using a 11.0592MHz crystal and a 7805 for power supply leds are connected to the PORT0 of the MCU. 8 LED's are used for displaying letters. I used 7 red and 1 blue led to make it look good. you can connect LEDs to the microcontroller in two ways
- ACTIVE HIGH (logic '1' on MCU pin will make the LED glow)
- ACTIVE LOW (logic '0' on MCU pin will make the LED glow)
It is better to connect the leds in active low configuration(cathode to MCU pin and anode to Vcc through 220ohm resister for current limiting.
The whole arrangement is placed in a wheel using foam plaster so the it sticks on both sides
the wheel is attached to 6mm shaft and 1000RPM metal gare motor.
Keep the arrangement as strong as possible. So that it won't fall out of the high speed rotating platform.Try to make it stable to suppress the vibrations at high speed. I attached the 9V battery using a tape to the circuit board of MCU .It means I am using "ON BOARD" power supply.
I arranged the LEDs on a separate PCB and connected them to the pinheads and an eight pin female connector is used to connect the 8 LEDs to connect to PORT0 of AT89S52.
I used the KIEL software to program the microcontroller. i prefer to work with C rather than assembly. I am using a USB based programmer to burn the AT89S52 MCU.
try to make your code flexible so that you can easily modify to display any word
at first every thing was a bit messy
watch the video
looks nice is isn't it.
I'm trying to make a single stand still display. calculation of proper delay is very important in making this project.because speed of any two motors is not equal.calculate delay as per your motor.motor speed should not be less than 1000.
if your motor is rotating in clock wise direction then the corresponding code will be as follows.
leds are connected to PORT0 of AT89S52 so the logic will be
P0=0x81; delay( );//define this function as per your motor
P0=0x6f; delay( );
P0=0x6f; delay( );
P0=0x6f; delay( );
P0=0x6f; delay( );
P0=0x81; delay( );
P0=0xff; delay( );// to make one column gap between letters
if it is anti clock wise then
same code in the reverse order
in this example im using the letter "A" which is symetrical
for other letters you need to follow from down to top of the code algorithm discussed above
P0=0xff; delay( );// to make one column gap between letters
P0=0x81; delay( );
P0=0x6f; delay( );
P0=0x6f; delay( );
P0=0x6f; delay( );
P0=0x81; delay( );
similarly for active high the following notation must be followed
so the code will be:
led=0x7e;delay();
led=0x90;delay();
led=0x90;delay();
led=0x90;delay();
led=0x7e;delay();
led=0x00;delay();column gap betwwn 2 letters
led=0x7e;delay();
led=0x90;delay();
led=0x90;delay();
led=0x90;delay();
led=0x7e;delay();
led=0x00;delay();column gap betwwn 2 letters
so that you can display any word on your moving display
but the question is how much delay we need to use after each and every colum
follow theses calculations..
DELAY CALCULATIONS motor speed===1000 RPM
time for one rotation===60 milli seconds
radious =30cm
peremeter=2*3.414*30=204.84~205
width of led column=0.5cm ( this indicated the duration of led glow in terms of length of display)
total num of columns(leds)=205/0.5=410
410 leds=60 milli seconds
one led(column)time=146 micro seconds//
columns for each letter=6
time for a letter=6*146=876 micro seconds
length for letter=6*0.5=3
total leters=205/3=68
THE CALCULATIONS VARIES ACCORDING TO THE GLOW TIME OF LED AND RADIUS OF THE ROTATING ARM
motor speed===1000 RPM
time for one rotation===60 milli seconds
radius =30cm
peremeter=2*3.414*30=204.84~205
width of led column=1cm( this indicated the duration of led glow in terms of length of display)
total num of columns(leds)=205
205 leds=60 milli seconds
one led(column)time=292 micro seconds
columns for each letter=6
time for a letter=6*292=1752 micro seconds
length for letter=6
total leters=205/6=34
THESE ARE ROUGH CALCULATIONS BECAUSE THE MOTOR SPEED IS NOT ALWAYS CONSTANT
BUT THEY HELP IN APROXIMATING THE DELAY
if you are a bit good at it
TRY WITH "RGB" LEDS
ALL THE BEST

i m giving the example for understanding the logic of this project.you can extend the code by adding number of "switch cases" i made it for active low logic means logic zero indicates led glowing and one indicates off.
with this technique you can make your own custom designs like "heart " "smile"
by changing the "del" variable value you can change the width of a letter.because no two motors are alike.
i prefer you to go for 1000 RPMmotor from vegarobokits. Which will be around 145 Rs
This propeller LED display can be made stable using an interrupt source. An IR sensor can be used to make it stable. Better to use a IR slot sensor as shown in the picture it will be a faster compared to an LM358 based sensor. if your motor is faster than 1500 rpm then this sensor is the best.
observe this video carefully.... you will find a small yellow paper on the base ground which comes in between the slot sensor pins and triggers the display. So your display always starts from a particular point
