Flippy Flap

This is a customizable Split Flap dashboard.  It is inspired by the traditional display boards seen in old train stations, where each tile would rotate to line up to the right letter.  These displays are very cool, but very expensive.  Flippy Flap allows for simulated on your monitor or television.

Flippy Flap supports:

• Full-screen support.
• Customized tiles, including size, color, and margins.
• Multiple dashboards, with regular rotation between them.
• Plain text boards, with linking to CSV files.
• CSV content.
• Date and clock display.
• A web server running on https://localhost:9001/home to control and customize the board.
