Hope everyone got the drivers needed - I just noticed that the v12 driver I am using for W11 was not in the VFD folder I shared earlier, so I added the driver file to the cloud link. This is the official Prolific v12 driver and I've encountered no problems with it. On Wednesday, January 7, 2026 at 12:36:14 AM UTC-5 Bob wo6w wrote: Hi Michael, The driver link worked for me... A quick and easy fix and the display is now running on my W-11 machine. I'll definitely be interested in a suitable USB interface chip for one or another Arduino based projects. Moistly using ESP32C3 boards at this time. SEEED Ziao form factor. Once again, MANY THANKS! Bob I also build a lot of Arduino type projects (probably more true Atmel mcu's than Arduino platform, but same idea)... I would think that if someone manages to crack these open and locate the TTL serial lines that would be a lot easier to manage than going through an intermediary USB chip. I have to believe there are txd/rxd pins on that board somewhere. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
