I bought three of them. All arrived quickly and all brand new with plastic cover. I didn’t want to try to find a Win10 PC, so I did it on my Win11 Laptop after a change. I am going to work on figuring out how to run it with a controller if possible to take out the PC requirement. Love the display. Has anyone opened it? If so, how? Just as a quick note - I don't believe there is really much of any OS requirements... As long as the host understands the usb serial port protocol, it should work. No problem with Win11 or Linux from what I can see on my Rasp Pi. I haven't tried cracking mine open yet... They almost look like they are glued during assembly like modern day smartphones - if that's the case you'd need some heat and suction cup pullers like you find in a gadget toolkit set. Gotta love today's non-repair world - if it breaks just toss it and buy a new one I guess. But I would start with seeing if there's any hint working through the base - once you pull that off you're at the back hinge cover and perhaps there is some fastener behind it that is the secret. These would certainly make great displays for microcontroller projects if you could get to the serial pins. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
