How the splitflap looks when the clocks go forward and hour.

The thing with a first step is: you just have to do it.

Spend some time last night on creating one of my favorite controls in #Swift and create a little #SplitFlap clock 😁 #coding

I finally tagged the Splitflap v2 stable release and updated documentation this weekend 🎉

github.com/scottbez1/sp...

It's mostly quality of life improvements - nicer sensor PCB, 52 flaps for more symbols and color blocks, better motor orientation.

Docs are in the repo: github.com/scottbez1/sp...

Okay this is the project for the PCBs 👀.

I'm building a splitflap display. Basically entirely driven by the one I saw in either Paris or Italy as a kid.

I set up the main menu scene for Australia Did It. Made this splitflap display and credits sequence for it.

You can play the demo right now btw store.steampowered.com/app/2396130/...

I want to make splitflap board. That seems like a fun project.

Just finished building a live Formula 1 timing and standing screen for my split flap board 🏎️

You can also always get your own parts manufactured directly, as the design is open source: github.com/scottbez1/sp...

And come hang out in the discord if you have questions: discord.gg/wgehm3PcrC (there are some pretty cool builds in the show-and-tell channel!)

MY WIFE [husband] everyone, is mad enough at Twilio to post on his homemade splitflap about it.

For my very small business selling parts for my open source splitflap project, imports have generally been small enough to qualify under existing de minimus rules, so I'm looking at maybe a 30% increase in cost of goods sold overnight (~20% existing tariffs that will newly apply + 10% new tariffs).

It's an esp32 and this.

I wrote a little splitflap controller webserver that manages everything else. Like the time.

the PCB for this is extremely well designed and thought out,
they all link together with IDC cables just loop in and out!

as previously mentioned the PCB uses TPL7407L low side drivers rather than a darlington array such as a ULN2003A the TPL uses less power on standby,

I think the vast amount of the cost comes from the modules...
also found this project... which is cool. It'd cost a lot to manufacture all the parts needed for a single board tho

You always craved for knowledge about split flap displays and their history?
Now's your chance, I wrote a book about them!

Is the electronics and code repo. Although you could also use Scott's designs.

I'm using a modified version of David Kingsman's designs as they can be 3D printed. I've modified it to fit 52 flaps.
