Part List for Display

Adafruit Persistence of Vision Tutorial: 

This project closely resembles what I would like to create as far as the display goes. However, the images that are displayed are stored on the microcontroller in this example. This tutorial is helpful in showing how to convert an image file into an Led Display. 

Arduino MKR1000 WIFI: 

Instead of using the Trinket as the tutorial did. I am thinking of using this board. It has the ability to host and connect to Wifi. I am thinking about creating a website that can have images and gifs uploaded to it and the board will read the images from the site and display those. This will allow the visuals to be affected in realtime from the computer.

uxcell DC 24V 1000RPM Micro
This motor seems like it will be fast and strong enough to create a fairly stable display. It has 1000 RPM which is about 20 RPS, which should make a good display if FPS and RPS are similar metrics. My main concern is how much weight the motor will be able to handle and how big of a display I'll be able to make with it.

Pololu Universal Aluminum Mounting Hub for 1/4″ Shaft
This component allows wheels to be connected to 1/4" drive shafts.

ThingVerse universal mounting
This piece allows for the mounting hub to be connected to a custom 3d printed object. I can modify the file slightly to have four hole inserts so that I can attach arms to the mount.

Similar Smaller scale project
had a motor with 550 rpm and said display was good.

Display Arms - 4 X 1 meter long arms
These should work for the arms of the display.
