How to Use

Clone the repository, and add/change the strings in pov_driver.py and run using:

$ python3 pov_driver.py

This will generate the directory and the arduino .ino file.

Upload the .ino file found in pov_fan_arduino_sketch to the Arduino UNO and make the appropriate connections shown below:

With the pins on the fan facing the right side, from top to bottom:

Fan <---> Arduino

DATA <---> A4

VCC <---> 3.3V

CLK <---> A5

GND <---> GND

Note: The last pin on the fan is not used.

Run the sketch and disconnect the fan.
