Piezoelectric Braille system with PC parallel port control and HV transistors (2011x8)

Air date: Apr 26, 2011

Here's a project that makes use of these electronic Braille characters: http://www.metec-ag.de/braille%20cell%20p16.html I built a bunch of transistor amplifiers and use two 74hc373 chips driven by the parallel port to control the state of both Braille characters.
