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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
