Matrix Orbital Corp

I have one of the 2series LCDs...my next project has some, interesting requirements:

Could soneone with a blue/white VFD place a sheet of notebook paper (easiest) or some, ahem, shoji screen paper (better for my plans) in front of it?

I am interested in how clearly it comes through the paper. Obviously an LCD will be useless if placed behind paper, but I figure a VFD may work?

Please post the linkage, or the pic if you can help me.

Hello, you may want to purchase an evaluation unit (see details below) to test your paper theory. Unless another customer has this unit is kindly enough to run some test and evaluate the display/paper for you.

I did not know that! Excellent Bernie, wow, Matrix just keeps getting cooler!

Good to know that all I need it the upfront money, and then log in the order with you, and I can return the unaltered unit after testing.

I may yet be getting some pics but this is a great alternative for only 5% and shipping.

Way to go, you can be sure there will be MO product in just about every mod I do in the future.

BTW, any USB graphics units on the way?

Good stuff!

Our engineers are looking/working on future Graphic/USB design opportunities. No release dates or production dates as of yet. We will keep you posted if/when they come close to release.

cool, I just can't see using Seriel external or soldering internal for the hookup...I just love the internal USB functionality.
