This is a fun project for beginners and experts alike - the staff is beautiful and documentation is very detailed. Island Robotics is also very helpful if you have any questions, I couldn't recommend this project enough.

Beyond Satisfaction

For POV staff kit

After not wanting to pay for an expensive LED Staff I had to thought to build my own and after a casual google search was able to find this project. Soon I knew I had to have it. I hadn't soldered since high school. Never worked with microprocessors or LEDS. About as green as it gets. So I borrowed a soldering iron from a friend and collected all the materials. The documentation was so clear and concise there was no trepidation and I had a blast building it in a single afternoon. But alas in the testing stage it wouldn't switch on. After looking at some of the other reviews I had gotten the jist that Alexander must be a pretty cool dude. What. An. Understatement. This guy is the BEST. I reached out via email and he was able to get back to me quickly and we spent the next few days emailing back and forth troubleshooting the issue. A lapse in my attention to detail had led to me aligning the LED's incorrectly. Alexander got me sorted out and 48 hours later I was up and running! Whenever I've talked to someone about the project I cant stop myself from telling them how awesome my experience has been. And of course the final product is just incredible. Looks sleek and functions magnificently. Now my wife wants her own and I'm considering buying one to build with my 14 y/o niece. I just couldn't recommend this kit more.

Great project, with clear instructions with fun results!

For POV staff kit

I found this project after weeks of searching for the right POV setup and Alexander's project delivers. It's fun and easy to make, there are clear instructions and it provides a solid foundation if you're looking to tinker with the software or hardware. The result is a working POV staff that is fun to play with. I've ordered two times from Island Robotics and shipping was fast from the east coast to San Diego both times. The kit of hardware he sells with the board is great and worth the cost.

Well thought out and seller is very knowledgeable.

For POV staff kit

I ordered the POV staff kit and it literally comes with everything you need except the wood dowel, the LED's, and the outer tube. I did make a couple mistakes during construction but the seller was very helpful and shortly had me enjoying the coolest POV staff ever. Thank you

Totally awesome kit! Great instructions! Works well!

For POV staff kit

Really well thought out kit (I ordered the whole kit in addition to the main board). Got it together with no trouble, worked first time (well, I did have to swap the comm wires, but that was my fault). Looking forward to making all sorts of cool spinny pictures. Planning to order at least two more kits for an upcoming performance.

So useful!!!

For HC-SR04 Sonar Mount 4-pack

I attached an HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor to a project and it was a total pain in the butt to keep it upright and pointed out. This little kit is perfect, and now my sensor doesn't flop all over the place and trigger on things it's not supposed to! This is exactly the kind of awesome helpful thing I come to Tindie for.
