Any chance of someone putting a step by step assembly instruction together ?

Is it really as simple as connecting serial port - TTL convertor - VFD ? With some soldering / splicing to hang it all together ?

Basically, yeah. I'm making a PCB that will take care of some of the annoyances, but yeah. Empeg -> TTL converter -> VFD.

The main 'annoyance' is the header on the VFD for communications is a ribbon cable header, 10-pin. It carries everything needed - including the +5v.

Me.
