The original VFD display is exhibiting some burned out segments, so I designed a replacement PCB with an OLED display instead. ( Got the idea from youtube, but the original poster didnt want to share or sell his design ).
EDIT : Sorry for the low quality picture, seems like the reddit app ate most of my pixels !
Are you planning on open sourcing the design? I also saw that YouTuber and was tempted to design my own open source version to fill my need for this cool upgrade
This is gorgeous! I have a 2000 with a VFD that’s still in pretty good condition, but even brand new, it wasn’t the highest-contrast tool in the shed, and I have to be pretty picky about lighting conditions to see it.
Two questions:
1: How fast is the update rate on this? That’s one of my favorite things about the 2000; it can blast those digits at the display faster than my eyes can resolve ’em.

How do you determine what to put on the screen?

that looks great. could it also fit into a 2002 or a 2015?
