Lauri was troubleshooting it before.

Currently the code that controls those displays is in the Terminal Server.

Hackathon 2024:

Space path: Reverse engineer low level signalling of the flip-disc displays to start designing ESP32 based driver for them

Lauri hit a wall with some help from @Kristjan in reverse engineering a driver for flipdiscs

Lauri investigated further the flipdisc internals. Uploaded Sigrok Pulseview dump to https://wiki.k-space.ee/en/projects/flip-disc
Overall signalling is somewhat complex (20pins) and uses lots of low level electronic components (NAND dates, 1-to-16 decoders etc). Considerig going back to the original controller board, need to investigate whether the firmware could be decompiled etc https://git.k-space.ee/k-space/mobitec-tools/src/branch/main/firmware
Maybe the baud rate can just easily be cranked up from 9600?
