VFD Dog Simulator
Noritake Itron GU-7000 series Arduino Library
« Back to RetroJDM's Arduino projects
I recently got my hands on a little 144 x 16 px Vacuum Flourescent Display (VFD).
Since I've got spare time over the holidays, I thought I'd make an Arduino library for it. One thing led to another, and I ended up making a pooping, barking "dog simulator" (starring my real life pooch "Sunny").
Noritake Itron provide their own library, but the sprite drawing routines are very basic. My library supports clipping and drawing sprites at any x,y position - even on the earlier "A" revision boards with firmware F100 that don't support their "dot unit" routines.
