#OpenSource 💡 Mikaël Mourcia nous parle de son projet coup de cœur du moment

J'adore le bruit d'un #SplitFlap. Ce clac-clac-clac un peu hypnotique... Je n'avais jamais regardé comment ça fonctionnait à l'intérieur. Alors j'en ai construit un, basé sur le projet Open Source de Scott Bezek.

Niveau matériel, rien de fou :
👉 un ESP32
👉 quelques moteurs et capteurs
👉 un fer à souder
👉 beaucoup de patience

Et évidemment, trop tentant de ne pas le brancher à #Canopsis...

seen today: split-flap train platform displays!
for some reason, the győr and hegyeshalom train stations still have those!

Before we moved, we hosted a reasonably frequent board game night (and as @Astarael and @SynAck can attest, we still find a way to host game nights out and about here and there).

Ever since I saw the shiny brand-new split-flap displays from places like Oat Foundry or Vestaboard, I've really wanted to buy one and set it up in the area we usually play board games in as a sort of player-score-tracker. Maybe tied to some little tabletop doodads for players to update the board.

Thing is, those boards are ridiculously expensive. AFAICT they're high-quality low-volume items that take a lot of human effort to make, so, fair enough, but it does mean I can't really justify spending cash on it.

However, by a considerably lucky twist of fate, I've come to own a very nice 3D printer recently at no cost to myself. And that's cool.

But then, TODAY! This found its way to my device: https://splitflap.home.blog/. An open-source project to make your own split-flap modules and displays!.

There may be a new project shortly in the works.
