Bad apple on flip dot, you might have to squint very hard. And I think I've mirrored it. Also converted from pi with Linux to pi with circle.

Gibt es hier im Fediversum jemanden, der sich ganz gut mit der Ansteuerung von #flipdot Displays auskennt? Ich habe hier ein BROSE 9323 Modul, bereits angepasst und mit Arduino dran. Aber ich kriege es leider nicht zum Laufen. Vielleicht hat jemand eine Idee, wenn ich das aktuelle Setting erläutere mit Fotos? Gerne melden falls jemand Muse dazu hat :D #askfedi #fedihelp

Got a nice #magnetostatic 112x16 pixel yellow-on-black #monochrome "#eInk" #monitor ;-).

Now need to find a way to drive it.

All #electronics (except frontlight inverter) ripped out.

It is a destination #display from a #Tatra #T4D-MT #tram from #Dresden.

I have nice ideas for the low level side, but the high level outside interface I find not easy to do (https://chaos.social/@dreieck/115510528206319192).

The few wrong pixels are from first experiments: Manually driving the coils.

Ahoj!,

I have got a LAWO #flipdot #display (4 modules of 16x28 pixels, in total a 16x112 pixel screen, from a Tatra T4D tram). Good mechanical condition but stripped off all #electronics. So the driving circuitry would need to be built anyway.

I am clueless about the #interface it should have to the outside world -- in order to be able to drive it with arbitrary text (e.g. #LCD4Linux) and graphics with pre-existing software. Anyone any tips or existing projects interfacing to outside world?
