I used the sample code from AlfaZeta with the flip-dot and it didn't work properly. The note in the sample code "// panel's speed setting: 1-OFF 2-ON 3 - ON" apparently meant that I should turn on the Dip-switches 3 & 4 to get anything to work from the Arduino commands.

With the Dip-switches set properly, the panel finally began flipping. It wasn't doing what I had expected, but exciting to see it do something.
