Re: [xpantastic] VFD help

2008-08-06 by PeWe

I just looked in my service manual, the display infos appear in the "theory of operation" (page 12), "test and calibration" (pages 33/34) and "schematic diagrams"(pages 49/50),- but no dimensions unfortunally.

I have a full PDF of the Futaba M40SD04GR VFD, 40 characters in a row but 5x7 dot matrix, dimensions included.
You find it here:
http://www.futaba.com/products/displays/standard_search/search.asp

The question is: Would this VFD translate well w/ an Xpander ?

take the dimensions.
Didn't someone post a data sheet for the actual VFDs recently?

Isn't this info in the service manual?
