This is a 1 to 1 copy withing +/-.005"
Hi everyone,
I think that I have figured out how the DSKY controlled the displays and scanned the keyboard. Based on various bits and pieces, it became clear that they used latching relays. The trick was to figure out how 5 latching relays could control 7 digit segments...
I have ordered a few latching relays from DigiKey and will prototype a single digit when I receive it.
Does anyone have any ideas on how we can recreate the 250V 800Hz EL displays?
@lmgill: Would you be willing to share the dimensions that you took of the real DSKY?
@tonydavid: Your replica is amazing! Where did you find the keys? They look very realistic.
