From the project
Drivers for a bunch of VFD displays, like the MN12832, ...
To edit a schematic/pcb, open the .pro file first (double click) KiCad needs this to handle sch/pcb together, otherwise u get wiered errors when updating pcb from schematic.
A Panel with that display and an Teensy4.
Intended Use: Graphical EQ. The bottom PCB is a FreeDSP-AllInOne. Infopage https://freedsp.github.io/ Github: https://github.com/freeDSP/freeDSP-ALLinONE
