Flip-Dot

by @flipletters · Landscape · Retro Tech

Turn messages or imported graphics into a high-density flip-dot board with tactile transitions and a matching mechanical fizz sound.

TL;DR

A high-density 84-by-28 flip-dot matrix — white dots on black — that rasterizes any text into dot-matrix lettering with a fizzy electromagnetic flip sound. Reads as bus-sign / retro-tech signage; also accepts painted dot grids and imported images. Density presets go from low to high resolution, landscape or portrait.
