Vfddriver
About the Vfddriver PCB
Vfddriver is an open source PCB design by ansemjo, published on GitHub under the CERN-OHL-P-2.0 license. It is a board measuring 75 × 40 mm, with 32 components from 23 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the IVL2-7/5, LM4871MX/NOPB, LM2733YMF/NOPB and HV5812WG-G. By type, the board carries 14 resistors, 10 capacitors, 4 ICs, 2 diodes, 1 connector and 1 inductor.
It belongs with the displays & leds designs in this gallery.
From the project
hardware project for a clock around a russian ivl2-5/7 vfd and an esp32-wroom module
~~ a vacuum-flourescent display clock project ~~
The first prototype of this clock was built completely on protoboard and can be seen on my Twitter.
This has become my first somewhat complex hardware project and as of now I have assembled multiple printed circuit boards for the "display driver" and the "clock core". After fiddling with Espressif's development framework for a while the assembled hardware now actually works as a clock with internet time synchronization. :)
