how to connect this vfd display??

I'll write a 2x2x20 driver for the VFDs too if it sweetens the deal....

(for those of you who don't know about that, I am going to write a driver which will drive 2 2x20 PLEDs as a 2x40)

Hi Stryd,

the VFDs from MRE are Hitachi-compatible anyway (and I suppose your PLEDs are also compatible), so there won´t be any display-specific programming necessary. But a 2x2x20 driver for Hitachi displays sounds nice :)

Oooo.  So how much would you want for them again MRE?  I'm looking at these 16x2s on ebay at the moment.

Yeh, if you can ship em to .au, I might give some a good home too

Well, I am about to move to Japan, so any deal that can be worked out in the next few weeks would be fine. Make any reasonable offer plus shipping and I'll send them out.  I would hesitate to only send one. so.. How about Twos and fours?

They are all in fantastic shape, and I will send a cable with each one. I dont see a problem with shipping overseas except for the time involved.

I can also make an attempt to check each one before shipping.

By the way, being that they are VFDs..  they suck a lot of current. I have never tried running 4 off a an '05 regulator.

Private message if you want some?

p.s. I move November 6th.. so.. I wont ship anything past mid October.

I hardly never use paypal, so I have no choice but to accept personal checks.

Assuming people will generally order in twos.. is $15 each (american) a decent deal?
