Added code and doc
Someone donated three flip flop to fixme, it would be good to make them work and display whatever we would like to.
== circuit 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):
 
// Roue des minutes :
// Engrenage moteur avec 4 aimants, capteur à effet Hall sur la PCB a la verticale
// Il faut compter 79 passages pour faire un tour de flaps. Vérifier s'il y a une dérive.
// Conclusion pour afficher le bon nombre : mapper 79*4 pas sur 62 positions (00->60 + blancs)
 
// Tempo du moteur pas à pas
#define tempo 14
 
#define SEC 10
#define MIN 6
#define HOR 2
