I have some code in C for a serial VFD, but it is a Futoba one - If it is still up on the website you can find it here Futoba VFD as well as a basic stamp version (not mine).<p>I thought the Noritake VFD's were HD44780 eqivalent?<p>Colin<p>[ September 11, 2004: Message edited by: bodgy ]</p>

cajun man<p>Where did you purchase your noritake VFD? I can't seem to find one to buy? How much did it set you back?
