DESCRIPTION
Ongoing experiments with flip-dot displays using custom tools built in Javascript.
One such tool is a small application that allows you to create your own typeface for the display. Each character can be drawn in its grid and then all of them are exported as JSON ready to use with my JS application.
I have also developed a web app that allows you to connect to and update the display from the browser using the Web Serial API .
My node.js port is based on Hawkz’s Python library.
Demo - connecting to the sign via the browser.
