Got a little carried away in inkscape on the silkscreen for this ESP32-C3 based controller board for controlling some flipdot display modules.

Using this plugin from PCM, which makes the KiCad to blender process super easy: https://github.com/30350n/pcb2blender

@gregdavill That is so cool!

Are you likely to sell the flip-dot units?

@gregdavill that's lovely! Are the schematics for the small dotflipper boards available anywhere?
Would like to see if I could adapt them to my flip digits.

@Kartoffel Eventually I would like to, it's just a pair of 74lvc595's and 7 low cost h-bridge drivers.

@gregdavill Really nice. Where are you getting your flipdot strips from? I have a larger 28x7 display I got from Alfazeta, but I haven’t seen these small ones.
