They vary from one line character displays to multi line pixel displays. [Recovered LCDs] Overview Many devices use LCD displays for status and other short messages to the user. These are often mounted on separate PCB boards as the display is remote from the main electronics, typically at the top, front of the device. This makes them useful as the whole mod… text/html 2026-09-26T20:58:36+00:00 tony (tony@undisclosed.example.com) http://projects.scorchingbay.nz/dokuwiki/electronic/ttl/start?rev=1790456316&do=diff Overview Early microcomputers used CRT displays driven by TTL level control signals.

[Recovered VFDs] Overview CD playes, radios, alarm clocks and microwave ovens often contain VFDs. VFDs recovered from equipment are often mounted on their own circuit boards with driver ICs, but require additional power supplies beyond that used by logic circuits, to power their filaments and grids/anodes. text/html 2026-09-26T20:54:50+00:00 tony (tony@undisclosed.example.com) http://projects.scorchingbay.nz/dokuwiki/feedback/user/e-test/start?rev=1790456090&do=diff Feedback [Once you have registered and logged in you can type your message here, and sign it using alt-shift-y] A test from e-test --- E Test 2018/04/19 08:21 text/html 2026-09-26T20:54:18+00:00 tony (tony@undisclosed.example.com) http://projects.scorchingbay.nz/dokuwiki/feedback/start?rev=1790456058&do=diff Feedback [Once you have registered and logged in you can type your message here, and sign it using alt-shift-y] Ok --- D test 2018/04/08 13:30 text/html 2026-09-26T20:52:01+00:00 tony (tony@undisclosed.example.com) http://projects.scorchingbay.nz/dokuwiki/electronic/equipment/start?rev=1790455921&do=diff Documenting various gadgets, machines and equipment * Calculator schematics etc. [PAGE UNDER CONSTRUCTION!] * Cameras.
