Just started to code for a real VFD tube connected to an Arduino MEGA. First step was to reverse-engineer the pixel-driving via the parallel interface. Now it does a smooth Invaders animation.

I wonder how much it would cost to have a new VFD designed and made...? It would be cool to make a brand new, real VFD game... Cool
