ARDUINO SHIELD FOR 2 x 1×7 FLIP-DISC DISPLAY.
The first thing I thought about when designing flip-disc displays was the ability to be controlled by Arduino. The shield allows you to connect two 1×7 flip-disc displays, all Arduino pins are also available for connecting other modules. The shield can be used for learning and prototyping projects based on these displays or just for fun.
HOW TO USE.
On board the shield is a power module called pulse shaper power supply, to control the power module, Arduino uses two pins labeled PL, CH. In the description of the PSPS project, you can see how the module works and for what purpose it is used. The shield requires an external 12V, 1A power supply to operate. Buttons can be used to directly control selected discs. The SS1 power switch should be in the OFF position when uploading code to the Arduino. The shield is designed to work with Arduino Nano Every – the cheapest and reliable Arduino board. The displays are controlled via SPI, the entire procedure for controlling the displays and PSPS module is covered by a dedicated Arduino library. Just connect the power supply, upload the code and everything is ready.
