Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated
I'm not dead, I'm still working on this project
2+ years later but just so happen to be saving up some stuff for the "BIG ONE" that will probably mark the mechanical (not software) completion of the project...
What a long, strange, trip it's been.
I'd like to thank
Henri Skippari VERY much for hooking me up with one of his Noritake 800A VFD to USB backpacks, which works beautifully with
LCD Studio.. You rock, Ray! The design you see is what Henri's converter draws to the screen when it first powers up...
Ya'll remember the VFD? Sure you do. Remember the ugly green color? Yeah, probably...
Even with just holding the
dark blue light gel (filter) in place, it looks pretty good. The blue of the screen even matches the LEDs pretty well (look at the bottom of the picture.) The observant reader will notice
this modder in the reflection of the gel.
Even better with the filter fully installed... it looks sooooo sweet.
Nice wide viewing angle and consistent color
Now all I need is some quality time with LCD Studio making screens for all the data I've got available form Speedfan and other sources.
I know this is a bit of a tease... but I felt a small update would be a good thing.
