well, I didn´t bought them. the 3 on the video were offered to me, they were spare parts from obsolete big panels from an airport, arrivals/departures ...
Olá Nuno Neves Por favor, desculpe minha Português Estou usando o Google Translate. Um colega e eu estamos trabalhando em um projeto usando um display retalho dividido Funkwerk da Alemanha. Nós não temos sido capazes de se comunicar usando a eletrônica existente e agora estão tentando fio rígido em cada letra do sinal, semelhante à forma como você tem feito isso. Você está se comunicando diretamente com o motor de passo da carta com o L293D? O protocolo de comunicação que você está usando para se comunicar através de Arduino? Obrigado pela ajuda. Hello Nuno Neves Please excuse my Portuguese I am using Google translate. A colleague and I are working on a project using a Funkwerk split flap display from Germany. We have not been able to communicate using the existing electronics and are now trying to hard wire into each letter of the sign, similar to how you have done it. Are you communicating directly to the stepper motor of the letter with the L293D? What communication protocol are you using to communicating through Arduino? Thank you for your help. -Lowell
hi Lowell Smith , well, I don't know how your display works, but the ones I show in my video are 3 independent displays,each one has a motor that "flips" every time the power is inverted, so I apply power to it, and to move one flap I must invert the power. that's why I use the L293D, like if I was controlling a DC motor. additionally the displays I use have 2 sensors, one for the home position, that's a small dot display, and another to tell if the next pulse should be positive or negative. from the home sensor I count the number of flips to tell which letter is being shown there is no protocol at all, just sensing and actuating. I hope that this was helpful
Olá, Nuno. Se vc soubesse se ainda existem eu estaria bastante interessado em comprar. Trabalhei com alguns painéis flipdot controlados por arduino por hobbie e adoraria trabalhar com Split flaps também
+Nuno Neves, I did the same mechanism, but I can not run with the arduino . I think I'm doing link or code errors . Could you help? mail address: I ahmet__kardes@hotmail.com Thank you.
Hello , great job !!! Sir I just a question , so I am working on controlling the old Split Flap Display in the train station of Oran a city Algeria. the System is made by Bodet ( www.bodet.dz/ )its so similar to the the system you showed here the only difference is the voltage of the motors ( 48 Volts ) and i have 5 modules by one Display and i have 13 Displays in total I am planning to control the 5 motors (2 Bi-Directional Motors / 3 Mono-Directional ) via a relay and an Arduino. is it possible control the motors without a driver ? Please let me know as soon as you see this Thanks for your help
hi Mehdi, well, using the relays with the arduino still requires a driver. i needed the LD293 because the split flaps used need an alternating pulse to rotate. have you tried to make them move just using a simple circuit, power and a push button for example? would you share a pic or video of your split flaps?
Hi Nuno, Thanks for your informative answer I took some pictures for you please find the link here : drive.google.com/open?id=0B4hGEKcQurgOamhRQ01MTHhXazg

Hi nuno, great to see them finally working. I just discovered your comment below my video with the split flap display. Keep up the good work!
AGO does not have the split counter
Genial. Los fabricas vos?

Where did you get those modules? I'm interested in buying some!

Oi, Nuno, tudo bem? Cara, procuro por modulos desse tipo ha anos. Vc os conseguiu no Brasil ou em Portugal? Sabe se ainda existem alguns disponiveis?
bom dia Antonio, estes 3 módulos vieram dos restos dos painéis de partidas/chegadas de um aeroporto em PT, não sei se ainda há disponíveis.
Olá, Nuno. Se vc soubesse se ainda existem eu estaria bastante interessado em comprar. Trabalhei com alguns painéis flipdot controlados por arduino por hobbie e adoraria trabalhar com Split flaps também
Legal isso !

How to make?
Você criou?
I did I, but I can not do the software. Can you send me the code ?
+ahmet kardes, what did you do? maybe I can explain better if I know what you did.
