From the project
This is a DIY split-flap display. Prototype four-character display: video.
This is a DIY split-flap display. Prototype four-character display: video.
The goal is to make a low-cost display that's easy to fabricate at home in small/single quantities (e.g. custom materials can be ordered from Ponoko or similar, and other hardware is generally available).
You can view an interactive 3d model of the design on the project website.
The splitflap community Discord server is the best place to keep up with the latest changes or ask questions about the project!
