Скачать или смотреть FlipDisc display - First test

As a peripheral project to Zusie, this is a display that will be used to show the contents of part of its memory area. It's a display constructed from flipdiscs (the same technique used on buses etc), that is, tiny discs that can flip to show either a black or a yellow side. They are flipped by reversing the current through a tiny coil under each disc. Once in a state, the disc will stay there until flipped again, even if power is cut, by way of magnetic remanence. This video shows a first test of my flipdisc display. It uses a PIC processor, which right now just flips the discs repeatedly, but later it will read the address and data buses of Zusie and display the memory contents on the display. The DIP switch on the control board will be used to set the base address of the display in Zusie's memory space.
