New Noritake VFD samples (choice of 114x16 or 16x2)

[greeeg 460]

Did you manage to find the sample code? It does exist, but it's not on their main product page from memory, it requires a bit more digging :/

 

You can dispay in a custom font using the bitmap commands. (stock 5x7 font on the top line, custom 3x5 font on the bottom.)

 

Unfortunately since the display is only 16 pixels high you can only do 3 lines of text if you go down to an even smaller font..

Got my (graphic) sample today!

3 lines is pretty good considering how small this thing is. I got my graphic done, just gotta take the sample code i just found and modify it to work. Should have brought the display into work!

 

Here is the small animation I want to run while the AC is on

@@bluehash - I think it's a rotating 4-blade fan. Would make sense as something to indicate air conditioner is on.

Here is a video of it on the screen. I apologize for the quality. Tried to use the slowest camera I had to keep the refreshing from showing.
