The project we worked on this past semester was a spinning display. With spinning displays in general, a phenomenon known as Persistence of Vision is employed. Persistence of Vision is an optical illusion that encompasses a multitude of discrete images which then form a single image in the brain. Our design involved many different hardware applications separate from the use of the FPGA. We 3D printed a bowl like housing with a lid. Attached to the housing was the arm which held the LED display. Inside the housing was a hall effect sensor as well which was used to locate the arm at any given moment in the code.
