Hugo-ESP8266 VS splitflap

Hey, i am using 2 of these remotes for 2 years and they are working perfectly..sadly the seller dont make them anymore, bit you can check the code and wiring on his github https://github.com/mcer12/Hugo-ESP8266

This solution resets the esp on every button push and also you have no idea what button was pushed. Which is not very useful. See my project here it seems to be exactly what you need. https://github.com/mcer12/Hugo-ESP8266

You might want to check out Scottbez's open source split flap display project (https://github.com/scottbez1/splitflap). I've also been interested in replicating/streamlining this someday since I don't like the idea of manually applying vinyl lettering to all the PVC cards.

There is a wonderful resource for a DIY option here: https://github.com/scottbez1/splitflap

https://github.com/scottbez1/splitflap Found this long time ago, but is too complex for me

For what it's worth, I've been keeping an I on https://github.com/scottbez1/splitflap for some displays. At some point they have a easy version.

I was looking at these the other day - in the process of browsing around the subject I found this maker-project to create custom ones:

https://github.com/scottbez1/splitflap

This is based off the splitflap project, which includes ordering and assembly guides.

Scott Bezek has a great video on "How a Split Flap Display Works" [0].

He also sells blank "flaps" on Tindie [1].

The documentation on how to build the Split Flap is also really awesome [2], including how to cut your own flaps [3].

I've been following this project for a while. It's pretty awesome. I estimate about $10 per character (as opposed to the $180/character (!!) another poster mentioned through Alibaba), with a large portion of the cost being the custom cut "flaps" (in small quantities). It seems like the cost could get in the $2-$4 range per character but I couldn't figure out how to do it without a significant amount of labor involved in cutting the flaps.

FYI, there's also a company called Oat Foundry that sells large split-flap displays [4]. I seem to remember the cost being in the $10k+ region but I don't see a price and I could be way off base.

Oh, interesting, I see Vestaboard also has a (smaller) one for around $3k [5].
