Hi,<br>
<br>
A couple of people have been chatting on irc about upgrading and/or<br>
changing the display board thats above lovelace.<br>
<br>
I&#39;ve got a 16 char starburst vfd with an spi(ish) interface (takes +5V<=

at<br>
~1amp) that i wanted to add to it to recreate the power meter.<br>
<br>
I also wanted to sit down with it for a while and try to finally<br>
diagnose<br>
and fix the problem where it breaks when babbage is rebooted.<br>
<br>
If anyone wants to take on either task please say and you can have the<br>
vfd, alternativ ly if someone dosn&#39;t want me to fiddle with it was so<b=
r>
and<br>
i&#39;ll leave it alone.<br>
