Upgrade your dog with a POV Device

This project brings a new dimension to wearable electronics, and give another reason to walk the dog. If anyone manages to make a POV, mount it on a cat and successfully demonstrate it - let us know. In the meanwhile, for more details, cute dog photos and the Arduino sketch visit Michael's blog here.
