Library for Arduino framework for convenient working with vacuum fluorescent displays (VFD) based on Futaba M202MD10C board. 

## Supported features

- Cursor positioning

- Cursor visibility toggle

- Text vertical scrolling toggle

- Brightness dimming (4 levels available)

- Display self-test mode triggering

- Code pages switching (12 available)

- User-definable symbols (9 available)

- Internal buffer for ticker text (45 symbols maximum)

## Usage example

There are several different example sketches available in `/examples`, this is one of them:

```c++

#include 

#include 

FutabaVfdM202MD10C display;

SoftwareSerial softSerial(2, 3, true); // display DATA should be connected to pin #3

bool dimmingStatus = true;

void setup() {

    softSerial.begin(9600);

    display.initialize(softSerial);

    display.reset();

    display.print("Wake up, Neo...");

}

void loop() {

    display.toggleCursor(dimmingStatus);

    dimmingStatus = !dimmingStatus;

    delay(500);

}

```
