Just as soon as I can get it posted to my web site I'm going to open-source the interval timer that I designed for our (fluxeon.com) induction heaters. It uses an Atmel processor, 3 LED display and a quadrature shaft encoder to enter the time interval. Easy enough to substitute the VFD for the LEDs. You could use one set of 3 digits to display the setpoint and the other set to show the count-down. Only a minor change in the firmware. If you're interested, I'll push the priority of editing my site a little higher.
