Bringing a Mechanical Display Back from the Dead
In this video we reverse engineer a mechanical sign from 1985 and lean how to get it working again. The radar unit it was designed to work with no longer exist so we will interface it with an Arduino. Along the way we learn about CMOS digital logic and how the books by Don Lancaster were used to create our modern digital world.

06:51 - Looking inside
10:43 - How Don Lancaster's books changed the world

    That is truly a terrible soldering iron, there are some excellent, budget, irons these days, that's not one of them. I am not refering to the project but the soldering iron.

    Thank you for your build video! I also used glue on my index finger to place the tiny magnet in position 😆. I'm really grateful for this video, and I would like to add two pieces of information. # Magnetic Zero Position Letter and Offset When setting the offset, you should start by configuring the "Magnetic Zero Position Letter" field before adjusting the "Offset." For example, if your leader was showing "E" when the "Offset" was set to 0, it means the unit's "Magnetic Zero Position Letter" is "E." Setting this field will automatically provide an approximate value for the offset. Click the "Update" button to check if the recommended offset works for your unit. From there, you can fine-tune the offset without changing the "Magnetic Zero Position Letter." Internally, the onboard chip keeps track of the currently displayed letter in memory and resets it to the "Magnetic Zero Position Letter" whenever the sensor detects the magnet. Therefore, it is crucial to set the correct Magnetic Zero Position Letter. # Connecting to Your Home Wi-Fi Router On the web UI, you can enter your Wi-Fi SSID and password, then click "Update" and restart the AfterAI Flaps. From the next boot, it will attempt to connect to your Wi-Fi access point (ensure that IP assignment remains dynamic, as static IP assignment may not work well depending on your router's settings). Once connected to your router, you can find its IP address by checking your router's web UI. Alternatively, you can determine its dynamically assigned IP address by interpreting the Morse code signal, as demonstrated in this video: ruclips.net/video/QqlCrIgUWk4/видео.html. Thank you again for your video! I think people will feel inspired to build their own AfterAI Flaps alongside you!

    • @mastertrontamer

      LiFePo4 batteries are charged differently than lead-acid gel-cells. So you need to stick with lead-acid gel-cells.

    • @mastertrontamer
      @mastertrontamer 4 месяца назад

      Yes, it did a good job of converting the tape. The noise I ran into was normal tape hiss and a little bit of motor that was picked up on the original recording. Software can help clean this up.
