not to be outdone by people posting pics of their hardware,

i'll post my pics in this thread

these would be some VFD screens i finally received from Singapore, to be hopefully programmed for and installed in my car for interfacing with the EMS

haha, i was so driven to get these to work, I DID! took me about 2hrs total. It is amazing what a geek can do once driven

in action..

notice the de-daughtered v3 board - i am using it only for rs232 - TTL level conversion (so ironic and ghetto, but that was the only means of conversion at the time)

also notice where the power is coming from

(a bit hard to see, but it's coming from inside the computer case, 4pin connector into 2pin 5v header, baby) - ghetto/lazy prototyping at its best

software i found after about 5min googling on some german website (even software is in german but i guess i reverse engineered it)

i am impressed with the unit so far - bright sunlight readability for about $12 - not bad!

Because it has zero to do with FreeEMS, I moved it to general. Nice display :-)

You can post a "I've got shiny hardware too" thread in FreeEMS section when your adapt board arrives ;-)
