A Flip Disc Display That Does It Slow And Steady
A person built a flip disc display using a CNC machine to flip each disc one at a time. The display uses 37 by 18 discs, each black on one side and blue on the other. It's not fast, but it works and allows images to be displayed through a browser.
A CNC machine flips individual discs in a display to create images, using a color sensor and LIDAR to determine which discs to flip. The process is slow but functional and allows for image uploads.
This project shows a creative and low-cost way to build a display, using existing tools like CNC machines and sensors, which could inspire others to experiment with similar ideas.
The project highlights a hands-on, thoughtful approach to technology, showing how people can creatively solve problems with available tools and patience.
