Quote:And how do you plan to get more than about two revolutions before the wire that's running the LED binds up?
Well there are two options to fix that problem..... ONE: i buy an expensive piece that allows swivel while still keeping contacts together, TWO: i do it my way and just mount the LED right next to the center of my piece (a diffuser out of a coca-cola fountain unit) there for the spinning piece will still light up, i'll just have to postition the LED just right so that it still has the same effect.
I also took the LED letters out of a couple pop machines. I have 8 of them and i plan on using them to say NINTENDO when you turn it on. i know i can hard wire them up to say that but i really want to be able to use it for other things too like: Time, My Name, Running time, and basically anything i progam it to say. However i have no idea how to do that so it might just say NINTENDO and thats it.
EDIT: Does anyone know what i could do to run these LED letters on a program or something???
