Used tools, methods and technologies:

• One cheap bluethooth PC mouse, simple electromechanical components
• Soldering, mouse-destroying
• 3D CAD and printing
• Musical app compatible with mouse-page turning
• Total cost of material and components around 7 € (176 kč)

     This project started when I bought a large-screen tablet for reading sheet music during concerts and rehearsals. At first, I searched for page-fliping solutions and I wasnt satisfied. Software based were not reliable and hardware page fliping devices start at around 50+ € (1300+ kč), which is quite expensice when you consider it does same stuff as a wireless controller or mouse. That was exacly my thought that gave birth to this project: "I will build my own page flipper and it will be based on simple and cheap computer mouse.

List of ALL components

Electronics

     • Wireless bluethooth mouse, the cheaper the better. I use this cheap mouse. Note that using a different one will probably not press-fit into existing design. More on that later.

     • AA batery housing - Mouse usually has AA bateries. I use this AA Batery housing beacuse its realiable. Note that using a different one will probably not press-fit into existing design. More on that later. You can also print one out and use end connections from the mouse

     • Buttons - with quiet click, no aretation: something like these buttons.

     • Power switch - best with light indication: something like this switch. Mine has indication, but not for 1,5V batteries.

     • Wires and soldering stuff - to connect buttons and switch to mouse PCB.

3D print

     • PETG filament 90g - I used PETG Prusa Urban Grey.

Aditional

     • Magnets - If you can, use 5x3 mm neodymium cylinders. For different sizes, change parameters in the model. Can be suplemented by two-sided ducktape or some clever 3D printed locking.

     • Music sheet app - I use MobileMusic, paid. With other apps, check compatibility with bluetooth mouses first.

     Not yet written, sorry. No supports needed, not forget to separate the two components in slicer.

     Fully assembled ScoreFlip can be connected via bluetooth like this:

1. Turn on the ScoreFlip using the power switch.
2. Put the ScoreFlip into pairing mode by pressing two buttons, shown on picture simultaneously for 3-4s. Release and center LED should turn blue.
3. On your tablet or computer, go to Bluetooth settings and search for new devices.
4. Select the ScoreFlip, usually named GW-224 5.2, from the list of available devices.
5. Once connected, open your music sheet app and test the page flipping functionality using the buttons on the ScoreFlip.
