I ❤love SPLIT-FLAPs. I like them even more when few lines are refreshing at any one time... like in ARRIVAL / DEPARTURE terminals. You deserve a lot of credit to bring this stuff into the future.

The only one I have seen in person was at the Zurich airport in 2001. It was mesmerizing to watch as it updated flight statuses. It was a fairly large board.

I remember them as train station arrival/departures and then as a clocks. Sadly everyone knows that replacing analog device which is costly to manufacture/assemble by electronic device with barely any moving parts makes sense economically. Like Cassette recorder, Floppies, CD-ROM by memory cards or USB flash drives, analog clock by digital ones (except they remained to show social status), and these boards by LEDs. One Flip-flap can be replaced by 5x7 large LED which cost like 5$ total for one letter. I remember that departure boards were/still are printed at smaller stations with like 50 to 100 trains per day and main train station had departures printed on large format paper wrapped around cylinders in wooden boxes that could be rotated by hand with late trains being announced by a local radio. (Passenger train number 4361 will be 45 minutes late. The expected delay is subject to change). Later this was digitalized and broken into parts recorded independently so it became Passenger train number - 4 - 3 - 6 - 1 - will be - 4 - 5 - minutes - late

This is literally better made than an apple ad!

Very cool!

Absolutely magnificent. Computer animated simulations are not like the real thing. Nice work, guys. Wish I could afford one! 😆

Watching the board in slow motion, the numbers and characters are interspersed amongst the alphabet letters. Is there a reason that you chose to do that, or would I be right in thinking it is for aesthetics?

@OatFoundry

You have a good eye! This is hard to notice. One of the major reasons is so the sign can act as a clock. Counting up, down, and keeping track of time down to the second. This helps keep the timing consistent when you ask the display to show any character.

Looks cool

i need one for my room, so i can use it as a physical API thing for my coding projects to mess with

I wonder what such a thing will cost for the home. Like in Vestaboard size. Likely too expensive for a normal guy like me. I'd not mind to spend USD 2000-3000 but USD 10000+ would definitely be too much for a fun gadget like this - though It's really cool :O
