TBH this is one of a few things that feels exciting about LLMs. I've recently revived a flip-dot panel from an old bus by reverse engineering and replacing its firmware -- https://www.bobek.cz/buse/


Looks like the video links are broken, would love to see these displays in action.


oh wow, this is cool! I managed to reverse engineer a BS120 led display[1], we ended up hooking it into our hackerspace's[2] home assistant instance, displaying everything from static messages to when trams are departing. I enjoyed the challenge of REing it by hand, but the ESP32 firmware to connect it was vibed by a fellow member.

It it less crazy that it sounds. I have recently replaced firmware on an obscure MCU to revive a flip-dot display.

This resonates. I have just got back to hacking an old flip-dot display after sitting on the shelf for years.

This template is a great starting point. I have tweaked [0] it for A4 and two-column output, if anybody is interested.

Graph paper FWT :)


Bitwarden scrubs ‘Always free’ and ‘Inclusion’ values from its website as longtime execs step down


Plus we had a visual diff on the top of that as a part of the CI pipeline. It prevented a bunch of mishaps ;)


I went the complete opposite and print one A4 every morning [0], so I don't have to touch any device.

This is great! Love this project. Do you know of anything like this in English as well?


Ohh, that's good! I have an underutilized printer on my desk. Maybe I'll try that tomorrow.
