The Magnificent and Wonderous Lissajous Figures in a Simple Persistance

Have you ever heard of the “Lissajous Figures” before? Lissajous Figures also known as the “Lissajous Curve” and the basic equation for this theory is x=A\sin(at+\delta),\quad y=B\sin(bt), where it’s describes the complex harmonic motion. Nathaniel Bowditch first discovered this Lassojous Figures in 1815 and Jules Antoine Lissajous is the person that described it with further and detail information!

This is a very interesting project to develop with, and the Lissajous Figures itself is a fascinating curve that occurs in system. Since the movement of Lassojous Figures are happens in more than one direction, the standard way to play with Lassojous Figures is on an oscilloscope and in a web app.

Since this is quite a big project, thus you will need to have a large open space for it. It requires two axes of motion. The first axis consists of a row of LEDs, which the light moves back and forward. Then, the second axis we take that I-D LED display and rock it back and forward like the pendulum movement in a simple bearing! You will also need to use a hanging file folder frame to hold the pendulum up and make it less slippery with some electrical tape as well!
