POV Projector

With this you can project you POV's image onto a wall, ceiling, or pretty much anything!

It cost me nothing, it isn't very sturdy, but it does do what it is supposed to do.

Materials

this does not take many things to make.

1. a POV (mine is Ladyada's MiniPOV 3)
2. Cardboard or something similar
3. A magnifying sheet lense thing. (i dont know the kind of lense it is, i think it might be a Fresnel, but I am not sure)
4. Elcetrical tape

Cut the Cardboard

cut the cardboard to 2 pieces about 9x3 inches.
you may need to cut your's to different lengths depending on the lenses or you POV. so just try focusing the pov and lense w/o the cardboard first.

Tape

tape on the lense to both of your pieces of cardboard, on the short edges of the lense

Cut

a hole for the serial port (*if you're using the Mini POV 3) in the cardboard, so that the LED's are in focus
