KiCad project for drivers for Annax flip-dot display panels
Column driver is an open-source printed circuit board by CarlRaymond, from the CarlRaymond/AnnaxFlipdotDriver repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 100 × 100 mm with 104 parts on 90 nets, routed with 1,634 tracks and 258 vias.
It is built around the TPIC6B595N, TBD62783APG and BAS16GW, with the BAV70W among its other parts. Its parts include 47 diodes, 32 resistors, 12 ICs, 8 capacitors and 5 connectors. It belongs with the lEDs and displays boards and the ESP8266 boards of this library.
This is a driver for Annax flipdot display panels, with an Arduino nano or ESP8266 (Wemos D1 Mini) controller.
The controller consists of a row driver PC board, which contains the microcontroller, and a column driver PC board. A span of panels can be any length. One row driver daisy chains to all the panels, and each panel has its own column driver. The row and column driver boards are connected together with a serial interface.
The row board acts as the master controller, and holds either an Arduino Nano or a WeMos D1 Mini module.
The Nano has enough GPIO pins to supprt off-board connections to external controls, supporting interactive applications.
The WeMos D1 Mini is an ESP8266 device, with built-in WiFi capability. This allows using the panel for signage, with remote configuration capability.

Projekt powstał jako potrzeba klubowa SP5YAM z Komorowa.

It measures 100 × 100 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
104 parts, built around the TPIC6B595N, TBD62783APG, BAS16GW and BAV70W. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
From the CarlRaymond/AnnaxFlipdotDriver repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kicad/column_board/column_driver.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask CarlRaymond before reusing the design.
