XY5 FlipDot panels has been designed to build larger displays. Each is equipped with a suitable controller which. Just add 24V and data source and you are ready to go!
Fixing points allows to construct arrays. Lack of margins ensures continues display area.
Panels can be driven with any RS-485 capable device, for example Arduino, Raspberry Pi , Mac or PC with USB/RS485 converter. In order to build a display the following components must be also added:
- construction frame,
- housing,
- RS485 data source (can be a PC with RS485 output, Arduino, etc.),
- power supply (24V).
For larger installations we suggest to use Ethernet – to – RS485 converters with multiple outputs. Keeping low numer of controllers on one data line, allows to drive these displays with an increadible speed of 15 frames per second (black – to – white).
Typical applications include
- graphical artistic display installations
- interactive installations
- information signs and displays
- message boards
We are offering various sizes in order to fit your requirements, always in two disk diameter: 13.5mm (0.53″) or 8.9mm (0.35″).
