for background.
Unstructured ramblings initially
Just out of interest, I ordered a POV "stick" yesterday.

Assembly was straightforward. Just read the instructions first.
Programs and flashes fine.
Stage 2 was fitting a bipolar stepper (similar to RevEd's GBX008)
to an 18M2 board. CHI030

Straightforward to program for
continuous rotary or "windscreen-wiper" modes.
Next to do is attach the stepper spindle to the centre of gravity
on the back of the "stick", in a manner where the whole lot isn't shaken to pieces.
(The hardest bit in my opinion).
Timer? I could attach a DS1307 to the stick.
The 20M2 scl/sda pins on B.5 and B.7 would require a bit of program re-jigging
and a lot of board restructuring.
Or, go really OTT.
Separate clock, which uses IR to "beam" the time to
a TSOP receiver on the stick.
