Arduino-compatible VFD modular clock from Akafugu

Image
There aren't many VFD clock kits out there that are software-compatible with Arduino (and by that I mean the "Arduino sketch" being compilable in Arduino IDE and uploadable through USB-FTDI). Most of these kits come with the microcontroller pre-programmed, so they can be built quickly and easily, with minimal effort (totally understandable instant gratification; nobody wants to end up with an expensive dud). Upgrading the software usually requires familiarity with the microcontroller toolchain (compile-build-flash), plus an ISP programmer. (Note: The only processor I am familiar with is AVR/Atmega.) I was going to build myself an Arduino-based VFD clock , one that can take a sketch through the FTDI cable. Instead of starting from scratch (choosing a schematic, making the board etc), I decided to try one of the only 2 open-source VFD clock kits I found that are based on Atmega processor and : Adafruit's Ice Clock Akafugu VFD modular clock I settled for the VFD modula

Unifont on Wise Clock 3/4

Image
This was a quick experiment inspired by WyoLum's EReader library : displaying Unicode characters on the 3216 display from Sure Electronics (as used in Wise Clock 3/4 ). The fonts (developed by  Roman Czyborra  a very long time ago (1998!) and documented here ) are defined in the file  unifont.wff on the SD card. Before a character is displayed, its 32-byte definition is loaded from the file, starting from the calculated address. The simple sketch used in the above video can be found here . It was tested with Arduino 1.0.4 and does not require the EReader library (but requires the unifont.wff file on the SD card). PS  For the non-Chinese speakers/readers, the displayed symbol is " nihao " ("hello"), Unicode 0x6829.
