Message Selector Kit with GU512X32H-3900 and GPIO Interface Board

Display messages and images with the
Message Selector Kit

The Message Selector Kit allows the user to save messages into the Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) module and display the message with the GPIO interface board. The Message Selector Kit is capable of displaying bitmap images and flip-book like animation.

Did we forget to mention this kit can integrate to other devices and it takes 5 minutes to setup?

Intelligent display, I can think on my own

Intelligent Display


VFD module included in this kit, GU512X32H-3900 has built in Flash memory which allows you to store up to 255 messages or scenarios. The messages / scenarios can be stored with built-in font tables, fonts installed on your Windows® system or monochromatic bitmap image. Once the messages are stored to the VFD module, messages can be executed automatically or triggered by the GPIO interface board. Like a flip book, simple animation can be stored with the included software.

Slim and compact

Slim and Compact


Slim and compact design, VFD module GU512X32-3900 will fit into spaces that most displays ordinary wouldn't fit.

No programming = no debugging!

No Programming Required


With the included software, it only takes a click of a button to store messages on to the VFD module. Only hard part is figuring out what message to store.

Integrate with other devices

Integrate with other devices


Included VFD module, GU512X32H-3900 can be communicated through RS232 asynchronous serial interface and has 8 general purpose I/O. GU512X32H-3900 VFD module can save other devices resource by having multiple display related routines programmed to the module and have them executed with a single command from the other devices.

Set up the Message Display Evaluation Kit in 5 minutes

Easy Setup


Set up the Message Display Evaluation Kit in 5 minutes.
1. Connect the hardware
2. Setup the messages
3. VFD modules configured and ready to go.

Enhance the display with the color filter

Color Filter


Not only color filters can alter the color of the Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD), color filters can increase the contrast ratio and act as a protective shield.
Color filters are available in various sizes and colors.
