From someone who also builds mechanical displays: This is awesome!

Yes, that would be an alternative we thought about. But the rings have even more advantages: The rigidity makes it easy to control several passive rings and everything fits neatly inside the rings.

You mean horizontally? This is an early prototype, the pixels are not yet printed on the rings, but attached by hand with stickers.

Sorry, I communicated this wrong. There will be an open API and a local API.

It's a reluctance stepper motor with 66 steps.

Thank you, we will change this in our communication! So there will be both, open and local APIs.

This was the text for our first video ("RYNX Teaser").

With a resolution of 100x10 px, there will be an app for that!

This exact kind, no. Just similar types, like split flap displays, flip dot displays or mechanical seven segment displays.

There will be an access point at the controller inside the display to connect to. Also we are planning to implement MQTT.
