I’m wondering if anyone has created a software model of the mechanism.

Is anyone aware of such a project?

It sounds right up the alley of many HN readers.

More than a decade ago, Diomidis Spinellis created an implementation running on the OLPC, written in Squeak:

Backwards engineering the front and back and how it all came together and passed though has me picturing this as a possibly the earliest front end/back end development situation. It even included documentation. A software version would be neat to see.
I feel like I saw one on the F-Droid app repository
I was thinking the same thing! I 3D model would be really neat to watch and pick apart.
I have one on mu iPad. There are 2 in the App Store, I think.
This what you have?

The other one seems to be less favorably rated.
