Mini VFD

A small Vacuum Flourescent Display I recovered from the skip at work.

It is housed in a project box with a mains transformer - it use to have a mystery 9-pin serial port input but it wouldn't work until we worked out that it was expecting a 5V TTL serial signal.

I've put a Xino into the box and I'm working on something amusing for it to do in the hackspace.
