About the Splitflap Display PCB

Splitflap Display is an open source PCB design by dylanmsu, published on GitHub under the GPL-3.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 111.8 × 95.3 mm, with 35 components from 9 distinct parts.

Other key parts include the CD4049UBE, 74HC595 and SN754410NE. By type, the board carries 12 capacitors, 8 ICs, 8 diodes and 5 connectors.

It belongs with the displays & leds designs in this gallery.

From the project

software to drive a public split flap display

That line of code will flip the segment once. Or if you want more control, there is the method:

It sets the state of the selected h-Bridge. There are (in the future) a bunch of example sketches with different use cases for the library. However, they all require at least one driver PCB to actually drive the split flap modules.

V1: first version, fully made in kicad with through hole components V4: latest version, made in EasyEDA with mostly SMD components
