DIY Split-Flap Display Build

  • Опубліковано 28 чер 2021
  • I built my own split-flap display! As the flap spool spins, flaps rotate past the front opening to display different characters. The facing character is composed of both a top and a bottom flap with a split in the middle, hence the name "split-flap".
    The display is made up of 8 individual 'modules', each of which can display a single character. There are 40 flaps in each module, able to display characters A-Z, 0-9, '?', '!', and '+' as well as a blank.
    Messages are sent via USB as plain text (serial). The driving microcontroller interprets those messages and moves the module motors accordingly. Magnets embedded in each flap spool are measured with hall effect sensors to keep track of the display's position.
    The build is based on Scott Bezek's open-source design, and I've made a number of improvements to the enclosure, flap lettering, and electronics assembly. Those changes have been submitted as pull requests to the original project and are now included in the latest release (v0.7).

    Thanks to you and Scott for doing all the heavy lifting. I was able to create the 3d models pretty easily from the svg files generated using the scripts (I have 3d printed everything enclosure, flaps and all). Can’t wait for the electronics to arrive so that I can put everything together!

    Extremely clean end product, my god.
    Could you share some insight on how you made the flaps? I've been wanting to have a go at making my own for a while, but I can't come up with a method that isn't extremely tedious.

    • @dave.madison
      @dave.madison  2 роки тому +5

      Absolutely! The flaps themselves were purchased from Scott, who had them die-cut from PVC sheet. I then wrote a Python script to generate the letter outlines sized for the flaps and cut them out of white vinyl on a desktop vinyl cutter.
      The rest is in the video: the letter sheets were weeded and backed with transfer paper, then the flaps were applied to the sheet. The negative space of the vinyl was used as an alignment aid for positioning the flaps, which were then squeegeed flat so the adhesive would stick. After removing the flaps from the first sheet they were flipped and offset to apply the letters to the other side. I then used a craft knife to trim the excess vinyl on the inside edge.
      The process worked well but it was exceedingly tedious. Scott recently did a large installation and I think he built a rig to silkscreen the letters, although if I remember correctly he had some problems with the paint flaking where the flaps rub together. I know some others had looked into aluminum flaps and laser etching the anodization. I don't recall the results of that experiment, though.
      If you want to know more about my process I'd recommend checking out the build log, linked in the description. It goes into more detail and also has links to the products used.
