    It's probably better suited to do propeller POV displays using rotatory encoders or step-by-step/servo motors since you don't have to track RPM or have the kind of problems you found in this build. It also allows you to have control of where you want the text to show at any time instead of it just spinning around.

    Enjoyed it. It would have been nice to have a portion dedicated to how to test the led & programming without actually building the blade and spinning it, if that is possible. Also, would have been nice to have you make the blade in a 3d printer, provided you had access. Expanding the concept to wifi/app update like the 'lametric' product would also be nice. Thank you for your work.
