+## POV Display usermod
+
+This usermod adds a new effect called “POV Image”.
+
+![the usermod at work](pov_display.gif?raw=true)
+
+To get it working:
+- Resize your image. The height must match the number of LEDs in your strip/segment.
+- Rotate your image 90° clockwise (height becomes width).
+- Upload a BMP image (24-bit, uncompressed) to the ESP filesystem using the “/edit” URL.
+- Select the “POV Image” effect.
+- Set the segment name to the absolute filesystem path of the image (e.g., “/myimage.bmp”).
+- The path is case-sensitive and must start with “/”.
+- Rotate the segment at approximately 20 RPM.
+- Tune as needed so that one full revolution maps to the image width (if the image appears stretched or compressed, adjust RPM slightly).
+- Enjoy the show!
+
+Notes:
+- Only 24-bit uncompressed BMP files are supported.
+- The image must fit into ~64 KB of RAM (width × height × 3 bytes, plus row padding to a 4-byte boundary).
+- Examples (approximate, excluding row padding):
+  - 128×128 (49,152 bytes) fits.
+  - 160×160 (76,800 bytes) does NOT fit.
+  - 96×192 (55,296 bytes) fits; padding may add a small overhead.
+- If the rendered image appears mirrored or upside‑down, rotate 90° the other way or flip horizontally in your editor and try again.
+- The path must be absolute.
+
+### Requirements
+- 1D rotating LED strip/segment (POV setup). Ensure the segment length equals the number of physical LEDs.
+- BMP image saved as 24‑bit, uncompressed (no alpha, no palette).
+- Sufficient free RAM (~64 KB) for the image buffer.
+
+### Troubleshooting
+- Nothing displays: verify the file exists at the exact absolute path (case‑sensitive) and is a 24‑bit uncompressed BMP.
+- Garbled colors or wrong orientation: re‑export as 24‑bit BMP and retry the rotation/flip guidance above.
+- Image too large: reduce width and/or height until it fits within ~64 KB (see examples).
+- Path issues: confirm you uploaded the file via the “/edit” URL and can see it in the filesystem browser.
+
+### Safety
+- Secure the rotating assembly and keep clear of moving parts.
+- Balance the strip/hub to minimize vibration before running at speed.
