Greg:

Someone donated three flip flop to fixme, it would be good to make them work and display whatever we would like to.

== Circuit board ==

=== Controller ===
8 bit micro
Full datasheet : [[File:MC68HC705P6A-7151.pdf]]

=== T bridge ===
basically switch the power
Full datasheet : [[File:DSA-60676.pdf]]

== Manual driving ==

=== Principle ===

The stepper-motors can be driven directly by an Arduino powering the coils properly. The Arduino output is low-power so the motor needs to be driven in "high-torque" mode, ie. 2 coils at a time. That is to say, instead of having the magnetic field going N > E > S > W, it goes NE > SE > SW > NW.

To lower the electrical stress on the Arduino, it would be '''great''' to drive the motors with H-Bridges (or maybe T-bridge like in the original design).

=== Show me the code ===

The code is there (not pushed to any GIT):
