====== Futaba NA202MD13AA VFD ====== I had used a bunch of these back in the day... I purchased yhese Futaba Vacuum Flourescent displays for $4 each. I wanted a winamp display and a unique nameplate for my desk. It comes with a 10 pin connector but 5 of those get grounded 2 for +v5 and three data signals.... Using a pic18f452 to drive it. Also ported it to an pic18f1320 hex file below is for the 18f452 that works with the schematic shown. Also have code for a car warning message panel Here is a shot of the display. It draws about 1 amp at 5V so it's not a miser but it is bright and only 5 connections to make it work. {{ :ovc:dscf0090.jpg?600 |}} Thought I would archive these files here... * {{ :ovc:vfd-character.pdf |}} * {{ :ovc:vfd-command.pdf |}} * {{ :ovc:vfd-interface.pdf |}} * {{ :ovc:vfd-schematic.pdf |}} Even made a simple VB character generator * {{ :ovc:char-gen-vb.zip |}}
