This repository belongs to the POV Cylinder project. A full description of this project can be found here: https://www.hackster.io/hanoba-diy/pov-cylinder-with-arduino-due-7016d5. The repository contains the source code for the "PC Control Program" for the POV Cylinder.
The PC Control Program (pccp) is a command line tool written in C++. It is running under Cygwin. It communicates with the Arduino via Bluetooth. It allows to control the POV Cylinder with the following simple single character commands:
- 0-7 - fill screen with color (black, red, yellow, green, cyan, blue, violet, white)
- t - draw triangle curve (as a test picture)
- s - enable or disable rotation of displayed picture
- r - draw single row
- c - draw single column
- y - playback internal GIF picture stored in Flash memory
- f - download external GIF file from PC via BT
- x - playback downloaded external GIF file
It also provides an interface to a graphical user interface. Furthermore it displays the current rotation speed (in Hz and µs) and a frame counter value.
