Thank you for continuing to highlight makers around the web.

Reminds me of the old program units in dishwashes and washing machines. The noise when you cranked it in start position, and when it ran and switched. The noise of the geared motor that slowly turned the cam rotor.

Great show, Donald and Tyler!

[@usafa1987]

Donald, your shows continue to delight.

I'm always a sucker for funky 7 segment displays. Thanks for another great show!

[@ChadLawson3]

I saw the buck converter video last week and knew it would make it onto this show. I just figured it would be last week’s show, but the timing must have been off.
Another great episode full of inspiration. Thanks.

Oh I am SO printing one of those displays! I wonder if you could use that type of cam system for a character display to flip thru A to Z too...

Check this out! The same Karakuri channel that inspired Jay's 7-segment design also made a 14-segment version capable of letters. So yeah, seems like the same techniques could be applied! th-cam.com/video/qbOpp3Lw4c0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=0p5vdMqSOjPjIlhe
