alt Hacker NewsTBH this is one of a few things that feels exciting about LLMs. I've recently revived a flip-dot panel from an old bus by reverse engineering and replacing its firmware -- https://www.bobek.cz/buse/

oh wow, this is cool! I managed to reverse engineer a BS120 led display[1], we ended up hooking it into our hackerspace's[2] home assistant instance, displaying everything from static messages to when trams are departing. I enjoyed the challenge of REing it by hand, but the ESP32 firmware to connect it was vibed by a fellow member.

Looks like the video links are broken, would love to see these displays in action.
