The main point about the UTUBE vid by Clough42 was that it enlightened yours truly, (more so than the paper expo sheet with the VFD), as to how and why the parameters can be changed to suit your needs.....it's extremely explicit.
The terminals on the VFD are clearly marked for wire up and as it runs straight out of the box.....joyous rapture all round.
It is possible that the dang thing might malfunction some time in the future but as they are so cheap...…..I'll just sell it on Gumtree for a few bucks or bung it and get another,no chance to fix it.
BTW, the words and music I watched on UTUBE are by a person who has distinct knowledge about what he's talking about not someone who just bought a cheap VFD and thought he'd make a name by posting some twaddle about how he ran one etc...…..I don't know him, but I do know of him from other reviews and comments.
