Finally got this stopwatch timer working! I just had to change a few lines of code in one of their examples and I got the proper digits to stop counting at "6". Now I just gotta write a blinky thing for it. Excited for this sculpture, pretty soon I gotta start bending- tight stuff with fancy glass
Using the old (new) 5volt arduino @adafruit (metro mini) as it works with the max485. Anyone know of an rs485 interface with 3volts?

Some of these flipdigits I got from #AlfaZeta . Been admiring their magnetic #clicky online for a while now. I love the association they bring with gas pumps and prices. I wanna make a stopwatch with them.

Playing with the example code, they built these nice little controllers for them- there is apparently a Windows application to program which controller is which digit? Awaiting their response with the download for their app. The letter controllers are #ATmega based...
