Summary
Highlights
The creator discusses the issues of working in summer heat and explores solutions. The focus shifts to building a fan that can also display images.
An explanation of how the visual persistence phenomenon allows for the fan's display function using RGB lights mounted on fan blades.
The creator decides between purchasing a fan and building one, eventually opting to build a unique fan using an Arduino Nano, LEDs, and sensors.
Initial tests determine the feasibility of the design. Issues like component placement and speed measurement are addressed.
The creator works on a more sophisticated version of the fan, addressing issues with power supply, component placement, and data transfer.
The creator enhances display quality by changing component positions and using a Raspberry Pi for improved performance.
After troubleshooting and optimizing, the final tests show the fan displaying images and videos successfully.
The project concludes with reflections on improvements and a tease for future projects, including a unique flying robot.
