"This Christmas my wife gave me two items from the Make Store... The "Build your own electronic game" kit and the POV kit. I soldered it all on Christmas day in the time it takes to watch Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest." - Link & poem!

If you made some stuff over the holiday, let us know in the comments, or the MAKE photo pool.

i got the miniPOV v3 and a new soldering iron for Christmas and put it together in the blink of an eye, but i still cant figure out how to program it!!!

all the info is on the site (follow the url that came with kit).

in the "make" section it describes the tools and parts, but stops before the construction and programming. i managed to solder without the pictures, but i have software-phobia and im totally helpless with the programming part. i figured that the site is just not finished or something, but some help would be, well, helpful.

theres a forum where people get help as well as step by step instructions for programming, at the end of the webpage

I bought and built the MintyBoost kit for my brother. It wowed the whole family and earned him cool points from his friends. :)
