VFD Display Unknown Pinout
« on: February 28, 2026, 12:08:30 pm »
I recently acquired a few IGT S+ slot machines. They had a few issues but I was able to get all 3 working.
One of them had a Boomtown card reader and display I noticed, however I never saw the display come up.
I pulled the display out and it appears to be a VFD(?)
I googled pinouts as best I could to hook it up to my arduino and make it say things inside the slot machine, however I could not find anything.
If anybody knows how to hook it up that would be great.


Thanks

Additional:
Theres a chip on the back labeled "Micrel 10937P-50"
It has a 6 pin connecter with "J1"
Capacitor says "1000µF 16V"

The player tracking/loyalty club card readers were not made by IGT and weren't shipped with the S+ machines. I'm moving this post to the player tracking category.

Check my project out - it may have a pinout for that display - or at least point you in the right direction: https://github.com/marcrdavis/ArduinoTITO-PlayerTracking
