IEE Flip Propeller Code released V1.0

Posted on June 11, 2012 by Parker

I finished the code for the demo for the VFD. It uses the 8 bit parallel bus. I am working on the serial bus version to save I/O lines and a MSP-430 C code version.

   Hi Parker,
   Thank you for sharing your work on the VFD display especially the data sheet! Serial hookup could not be simpler and here’s my test sketch for Arduino which I’m sure you can port to almost anything. I’d have done it in SPIN but I’ve never used it before… hehe.

   Thanks again,
   Hank

   //code start
   // Written in Arduino 1.01
   // Tested with Arduino UNO R2 and Arduino Pro 5v/16Mhz

   #include

   SoftwareSerial VFD(10, 11); // I used Pin 10 for Serial Data
   // Pin 1 on the VFD connect to Pin 10 on Arduino
   // Pin 2 on the VFD connect to GND
   // Pin 1 on VFD power connector to 5V

   void setup() {

   VFD.begin(1200);
   VFD.write((byte)0x0A); //Clear text
   VFD.write((byte)0x1B); //Put cursor at
   VFD.write((byte)0×00); //Position 0

   VFD.print(“Hello World”);
   }

   void loop() {
   // Your code goes here!
   }
   //code end
