Adesso APD-100 POS Register Stand Up Display Vacuum Fluorescent Screen VFD Monitor 8.8" Black

hi guys so today I want to focus on these vacuum fluorescent displays or VFDs for short and these have a nice vintage or retro look to them which makes them very appealing however you just don't find these commonly anymore in modern equipment LCDs and LED displays are replacing these very frequently however in older equipment these are pretty common and it would be nice to know how to connect to them or how to reverse engineer them right and that's what I'm gonna be talking about in this video I'm just going to focus on a practical approach on how to both talk to the display but also talk to maybe the chip that's also on the board when you take these out of equipment you frequently find a chip right next to the display that's you know purposely built to drive the display and in it's often much easier to drive the chip than to drive the display directly with your own built interface and
