Shoutout to YG for getting us in touch with Andrew! and Cheers Andrew! keep an eye out on the flip dot project early next year :) Checkout the playlist of this years #YTMakersSecretSanta! for all of the vids. im working on a bit of documentation on this as we speak so keep a lookout, as it has all been very last minute this build hahaha

no, it's a host/slave system, USB. you also need a new USB jack. but you can make a mouse, keyboard, midi controller and so with a Arduino and control your computer. You could use I²C or SPI to make 2 Arduino communicate with other, but also that is master/slave system, UART gives some options.

You and Tim hunkin need to hang out. He's like a force of nature.

But in his case it's an arcade made up of some of the most ridiculous and crazy awesome machines you've ever seen. (That he built by hand.)

I came here from "This Old Tony". I did know of your channel, again thanks to Tony but, as I already have so many channels I try to keep up with, I decided that I didn't need another but, upon coming back for the secret Santa builds, I find you working on a pipe organ! I spent 15 years as a pipe organ builder and loved every minute of it (right up to the time my knees wouldn't let me crawl around under the chests. Needless to say, I'm subscribing. Looking forward to more organ and, to be honest, I've never watched one of your videos that didn't entertain and educate me, so am looking forward to all your content.

@wpgne Год назад

Cool, Sam. These displays were popular in the 1970's and 80's on game shows, like the U.S. Family Feud or Family Fortunes in the UK. It's nice to see you can still get them for projects. I prefer the "eggcrate" displays used on the U.S. Price Is Right - some of which are still in use, even today, after decades.

@conorstewart2214 Год назад

For the flip dot displays for the front of the museum if you are having trouble with the speed and number of IO required it may be worth looking into FPGAs, rather than running software they configure their internal components to create custom hardware. A major advantage is they are essentially just digital circuits so everything happens concurrently, you can have every IO pin doing its own thing with its own timing at very high speeds usually. They also tend to have a large number of IO pins.

@kaitlyn__L Год назад

I was just thinking about how these have interesting failure modes, as the buses local to me waited until they’d failed to replace them with amber LEDs, then you realised you had a slow one! The ones which took a few seconds or even minutes to finally flip were funny, as well as the ones which got stuck halfway or even other fractions of a turn. Some flickered on and off which I suppose was a localised coil failure. I did miss the readability, but while these were used I was always thinking how a rotating fabric indicator was nicer for text. Somehow London still uses those for buses even long after everywhere else has switched away, including the Tube. So these things were in an awkward place where I only started to appreciate them once most were replaced with dim, more pointlike, amber LEDs.

@Rygoat Год назад

Honestly there's some cool potential here. Final evolution would be to shrink the pixel size / increase PPI and then maybe some kind of service that changes the artwork daily. Is there any way to potentially have more sides to the pixel? like a cube that rotates on one axis so you could have 4 colours per pixel, added complexity though because you'd need a way for the device to know if the pixels have rotated or it could end up out of sync
