I don't think Joel is trying to do anything with POV. The antenna is stationary, it's just covered in a ton of LEDs. Plus, he's talking about 10x the number of LEDs that you mentioned.

FastLED + the OctoWS or YvesBazin's controllers make much more sense for his project.

We can support the same amount of LED's .. we even left the pads open so that you can easily solder your own strips on.

Plus, we support tons of different stationary modes. The POV stuff is fun for the pocket MagicShifter user...

Anyway, just wanted to let folks know this project is out there, and Joel is re-covering territory we've already well and truly explored. Plus, check out the new stuff on http://hackerspaceshop.com/
