M202LD08A VFD fluent control

Post by hydrolisk1792 »

Okay, I don't know if this question was already answered but is there a better driver for the M202LD08A VFD screens (used in the NCR 5972 Customer Displays) than the Test Driver or the Matrix Orbital? I've included some Pics below of the screen that I'm talking about.

These screens have the ability to run off oif LPT OR Serial (RS232).
In my case, I need them to run off of RS232 because I need to run 4 of them at the same time from one machine. Using the Test Driver, I have to set the screens up for a 1X40 set up even though they are 2X20. In the case of that, it seems like the screens think they are 1x40, and it is kind of annoying :twisted:

Is there going to be a new .DLL in the works for these types of displays to make them operate the way that they should?

Thanks

This has been answered already, I have gotten this display to work with a special driver made by Dave.
