Today we are publishing photos of fully assembled and tested MVFD 16S8D Panel, Rev 2.0. The board on the pictures is fully populated with components which means that apart from displaying alphanumeric information it can measure ambient light intensity, emit simple ‘beep’, receive signals from an IR remote control and shine with an RGB LED. […]

This is a deep redesign of MVFD 16S8D Panel Rev.1.0 project which fixes minor and major issues and finally solves the fundamental problem of some parts becoming obsolete. Let’s reiterate the reasons which were the main driving forces of the project to come into existence: – Single power source (+5V) which makes it possible to […] It is time to test our revisited VFD PSU in real life. We are going to build a quick prototype using a PCB from MVFD 16S7D Panel with minimum components loaded. All we need to solder is a VFD controller IC2 (instead of HT16515 we are going to use PT6315 as they are pin-to-pin compatible), […] We are continuing our experiments with an alternative VFD power supply which we started some time ago. The high voltage part remains pretty much unchanged for now – it is an inverting regulator based on inexpensive chip MC34063. Excessive current consumption (60-70mA) in idling mode is still an issue but we are not going to […] The need in inexpensive, simple and compact power supply unit (PSU) for VFD projects has always been topical for us. MVFD 16S8D Panel was designed to address the challenge, however, as it always the case for first revision, there are some things which require improvements or rethinking. And MVFD Panel was not an exception in […] Luminardo motherboard and MVFD 16S8D Panel were specifically designed to fit together. That is why both PCBAs have the same board outline and matching mount holes. Two PCBAs interconnected by a 2 row 14 pin header, named as P8 on motherboard side and as JP2 on VFD panel side. In order to do the assembling […] Luminardo was specifically designed to work together with Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) panels such as MVFDPanel 16S8D. One of the most distinctive features of Luminardo is its low profile. The board also shares same dimensions with VFD module so the final product looks very compact and unusual, it could be easily embedded into a car […] With MVFD Panel requiring substantial amount of pins it becomes really first priority to minimise the number of GPIO and processor’s resources for some projects. That is where MVFD Serial Backpack comes to play. It takes responsibility of communication with VFD panel and conveniently provides either I2C or Serial interface to the main controller. Very […] Inspired by the success of VFD MagiClock a decision to make something similar but out of new parts was made. To be fair, despite its appealing look the original clock was assembled using scrapped parts making it really difficult to replicate. In addition to that, rather substantial dimensions and necessity to have cumbersome power supply […] These are PCBs recently manufactured for a VFD project. Aiming at very small initial quantity and rather compact 100×25 mm dimensions BatchPCB was considered an ideal service for making our PCBs. But in the end it turned out that shipment from US would be ridiculously expensive and simply not being worth ordering. That was the […] |
