Markus got his hands on some old split-flap displays from a train station and build a controller for them. The controller is based onĀ a PIC 12F683 and is using optocouplersĀ to isolate the 42 volts display motors from the driver circuit. The unit is able to control 8 of the segments.

This tutorial will describe a way of controlling an iPod remote, and thus, an easy way of getting some music and sound out of your Arduino project. The remote we used was an unofficial remote I found on the worldwide auction site for around 10 USD, an opto-isolator can be found in your local electronics store. [via]
