I got a new piece 3D printed that attaches the motor, blade, and slip ring all together. My friend Nathan Ayres, did the modeling and printing for me! It turned out great!
I got everything wired and tested out. The slip ring works really well and allows for the power and data to get to the LED strip. The only problem currently is that the LED sometimes blinks randomly when the motor is powered on. I'm still looking into why this is.
Up next I need to synchronize the image by making the blade spin at the same rate as the data is being received. I also need to get the projection and long exposure capture working. And lastly I want to fabricate a box to put the arduino, and motor inside to make the project look cleaner and be more portable.
