Originally this project has been setup for a friend, artist who is very motivated by the facebook virality and success about its creations. The idea was to let him have a look at its Facebook page "likes" in his kitchen, without disturbing attention.
I also was curious about the ability to create a fast-mounting splitflap with low cost in mind. (the existing ones were very expensive).
Far from perfect, it's started to be fun to mount some units and connect them on the web. All the elements are provided (3D models, software), if others want to improve and build their own.
I am deaf. It would be nice to added finger spells with numbers on flap module. I did made one old machine it looked like one and added template hands with numbers for the deaf clock time ago. I do have deaf fonts in computer. I cannot give it to anyone due to copyright. Thanks it is great your design on new one.
