Futaba VFD 2x16 display
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
			
			I would like to use this 2 line VFD in a VFO project ... can see it a 
lot better than LCD.  The part # is US1625D03B and it is a 5 volt part. 
I have a 21 page manual from the Inet and am trying to drive it with a 
PIC.  This device uses a clock and data line and accepts 8 bit serial 
transfer. Have had minimal success.... I can display several characters 
on line 1  but when I try to send a stream of characters it starts a 
crazy oscillation on the signal lines and the display goes bonkers.  I 
suspect the problem is timing and/or control character sequence.  I 
remember the terrible time we all had with LCD's till someone cracked 
the control sequence mystery. I would appreciate any information or 
code samples to get this dude working. 
 
Thanks
