Noritake/Fubata VFD parallel module pinout

[TCPMeta]

After noticing pfSense has the LCDproc package I pulled out a VFD module from a old POS system I gutted. I was just about to scrap it because wiring it up wasn't working so well. I had a couple of pins that needed to be hooked up but didn't know where they went. I finally figured it out and thought I share my findings.

!!!Double check your wiring!!!
