The persistence of vision wand is an accelerated project assigned to our group. We created a wand that will display a 7 letter word when the wand is accelerating back and forth. Our group did this using an Arduino Uno, LEDs, and an accelerometer. The accelerometer is used to read the direction and speed of the wand. Then this information is sent to the Arduino, and we used this micro controller to control when the LEDs will light up. Because this was an accelerated project, we still have room for improvement. One major improvement we would work on is making sure that the wand looks presentable, professional, and enclosed. This would insure that we wouldn't we using a breadboard anymore.
