Noritake Itron’s high brightness VFD display modules provide keyboard designs with sub-16 key operation through to a PC keyboard capability. The 600 series products support local control applications ...

The ubiquitous LCD (and VFD) modules based on the HD44780 controller IC can require up to 12 lines from the host. This hardware interface Design Idea reduces the connection to just one wire, allowing ...

We all love getting a good deal on sweet parts, but not all of them are documented. Some of us have trained our eyes and brains to spot “timesinks”, having been burned before. The rest sit down with ...

There’s no shortage of clock projects, but [niq_ro] has his own take using a vacuum fluorescent display (VFD), and Arduino, and a pair of MAX6921 ICs. Those chips are made to drive a VFD, and the use ...

The LCD/VFD controller project is based on HD44870 where the control command is compatible with Matrix-Orbital’s LCD module. The controller is based on a PIC16F873 MCU and in the design, there is no ...
