Arduino and oldskool VFD Display Pinouts......

[gavinator68]

I have an oldskool VFD:

Here is the data sheet:http://www.vfdworld.com/techdocs/IEE_03 ... 40_VFD.pdf

I would like to use it and need to understand all the connections. The data lines, power, and ground requirements are all very obvious, but what do I do with the WRITE STROBE and BUSY pin assignments when compared to todays RW, RS, and E pin connections that we commonly refer to on the pinouts for a modern LCD or VFD display.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

David

Check the busy bit to see if it is ready to accept a command. Then set up the data on the data pins then pulse the strobe line to write to the display.
