This demo shows how to use arduino to update the Flipbit display.

12/15/2021

After an year of development, I finally have a working 12unit prototype.

Currently, the display is running in serial mode display. Although feedback is implemented in individual module, the control board is not ready yet. This working demo is using esp32 as the control board, printing messages using UART. The ideal scenario would be using a Pi/Pi zero and have the display connected to an IoT server.

Connections for parallel communication is in place, but still needs firmware support. This will also be the next step.

Next step:

1. Integrade feedback system

2. Use Pi/Pi zero as control board

3. Setup IoT

4. Develop simple use case (e.g. Clock, stock price display, interactive message display).
