Description FlatFlap Description Section

All you need for mastering FlatFlap Control! Bring organic motion to your creations with the FlatFlap – our thinnest magnetic flapper yet at just 0.3mm! Perfect for kinetic art, interactive displays, and ultra-light robotics.

What’s Inside the Box:

  • 🧠 CodeCell Light – A tiny smart controller packed with sensors and wireless control.
  • DriverCell x4 – Power modules that can control the current flowing through the FlatFlap.
  • 🌀 FlatFlap x4 – Ultra-thin magnetic actuators, each with an N52 magnet for maximum effect.

Why You’ll Love It:

  • 🚀 Fast Setup – From unboxing to motion testing in minutes.
  • 🪛 Easy Assembly – Just a bit of basic soldering to connect the modules - All screw you'll need will be included.
  • 📱 No Code Required – Control the strength or speed straight out of the box - Just pair the CodeCell with your phone using our free MicroLink app.
  • 💡 Optional Customization – Learn and customize your project further, using the CodeCell's Arduino library to make your project interactive with it's built-in light and proximity sensor, or even add wireless control.

What You Can Make:

  • Stick FlatFlaps Anywhere – Paper, wood, metal, glass, or plastic – make them flap, vibrate, or buzz.
  • 🦋 Puppets & Living Art – Animate butterfly wings, build flapping bots, or bring interactive characters to life.
  • 🎨 Kinetic Art Signs – Add motion to your message with FlatFlap and grab attention instantly. Use CodeCell’s proximity sensor to make it even more interactive!
Frequently Asked Questions CodeCell FAQs
How do I get started?

Go from unboxing to testing in minutes. Just connect the modules with simple soldering and power up the CodeCell — no programming required. Use your phone via the MicroLink app, to control motion angle and speed. Optionally, customize the code using the Arduino IDE to make your project interactive with built-in light and proximity sensors, or even add wireless control.

Why does it need a DriveCell?

Want to Make It Flap? To do that, you can’t power it directly through the CodeCell’s GPIO pins. You’ll need to drive it with transistors - like an H-Bridge - to reverse polarity and control its position. This usually requires bulky circuitry, but our compact DriveCell module makes it easy to use and is only 0.8 cm wide!

Think of the CodeCell as the brain, sending PWM signals to tell the DriveCell exactly what to do.

Does FlatFlap need magnets?

The FlatFlap comes pre-assembled with the magnet so no additional magnets are required. Just power the coil for it to be repelled or attracted to the magnet. Adding an h-bridge like our tiny DriveCell, allows you to control the current through the coil, and produce smooth flappy motion.

How hard is it to solder?

Both CodeCell and DriveCell features standard 2.54mm pitch pins which are castellated - This makes it super easy to solder together, with wires or pin-headers!

What ages is the FlatFlap Discovery Pack suitable for?

This Pack is perfect for anyone curious about electronics! It comes with an easy to use App and examples, making it easier to get started. Since soldering is required, we recommend ensuring that soldering is done under proper adult supervision and guidance for children under 12. Please also note that the package includes small parts, like screws, so care should be taken when handling them.
