 PSSC’s 1. An ability to display a pattern with rotating LEDs 2. An ability to control the direction in which the pattern is being displayed 3. An ability to track an RF beacon 4. An ability to change the pattern while the machine is in operation 5. An ability to accept user-generated text to display Images from Examples of Similar Devices:

Two PCBs, 3 μ C: - One rotating PCB to drive LEDs - One stationary PCB for location detection, interfacing with user μC #1 handles the UI, RF beacon location detection, and pixel maps μC #2 stores data from the transceiver in a buffer μC #3 shifts the data out of the buffer to the LEDs and handles timing
