Post by thread:[AD]Vaccuum fluorescent displays

Reluctantly I have the following VFD's for sale. 2 * Futaba M202SD08G 2 line 20 character. AU$20 each One I've attached an oscillator to (dead bug style) and is ready for serial comms, the other is untouched and is ready for parallel comms (buy an oscillator and two SMD caps and it can become a serial like above) I should have the data sheet somewhere for this in PDF format - I do have skeleton code in 'c' for the serial version. I also have 2 ginormous IEE VFD displays. I think the part number is 036X2-122-09220. These are a 2 * 20 display, measuring 7.75" long x 2.58" wide x 2.5cm high (who says you can't mix and match measuring systems?), The beauty of these are that they accept HD44780 LCD protocols as well as a weird Motorola protocol. Both types of display are a nice blue green, and can be easily seen across a dark room - think vending machines. I do have the datasheet for these. Looking for AU$30.00 each Freight and packing extra. Colin -- cdb, on 10/03/2009

They will be Ebay'd, if there are no takers.

In that case, I'll bid xD

PIC-a- backing. Aha. Time to dust off my basement. I have a large box of driveless (glass mit leads) of VFDs downstairs. You mean to say they may be valuable :-) ? Can anyone advise what hv drivers are readily and cost effectively available nowadays for driving an anoying number of pins on such devices ? I'm not a competitor to this ad - if I did sell any it would be "sometime". Russell {Quote hidden}> Reluctantly I have the following VFD's for sale. > > 2 * Futaba M202SD08G 2 line 20 character.

:: an anyone advise what hv drivers are readily and cost effectively :: available :: nowadays for driving an anoying number of pins on such devices ? Maxim have a range (MAX60xx series). I'm sure I've seen some of the smaller manufacturers have drivers as well.
